Queen Visits Bylane Farm
A rare Queen butterfly made an appearance at Bylane Farm
on September 22, 2003, constituting the first Westchester County record,
and one of only a very small handful of records for the northeast. It's
normal northern range limit does not exceed northern Georgia and
southeastern South Carolina. Bylane Property Manager, Tait Johansson,
discovered the butterfly, and Board Member Bill Wallace photographed it.
Long Live the Queen! |
