It's the first one I have seen in Allendale in a couple of years. One of my favorites.
(My wife Patty Finn found it. Thx, Patty!)
Got a butterfly pic and need an I.D.? Email me at [email protected].
It's part of Lee Memorial Library's Butterfly Summer.
Got this at Wave Hill last week. What is it?
Hint: It's related to National Moth Week, which starts Saturday.
There's a free event at the Fell House this Saturday night:
Moth Night at the Fell House.
Saturday, July 23 is Moth Night, and Fyke and Lee Memorial Library are kicking off National Moth Week. Elena Tartaglia, a biology professor at Bergen Community college and a National Moth Week founder, will do a short talk at 7:45 p.m. and supply the moth lights.
We will also show "Mothra Vs. Godzilla" outside and serve s'mores. Bring your own non-aerosol mosquito spray and water. Ends at 10 p.m.
To register, email Jim Wright at [email protected].
Last week's Monday Morning Mystery -- which several people answered correctly -- is the subject of my "Bird Watcher" column in The Record. Stay tuned.
A big shout-out to Alan Pomerantz for the photos he took on this morning's walk.
And don't forget the Meadowlands' Butterfly Day!
A big thank you to all who participated in this morning's Celery farm Butterfly Walk.
We had a terrific turnout, and quite a few butterflies not only showed up but hung around for a few photo ops.
Among the butterflies: Monarch, Eastern Tailed-Blue, Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Black Swallowtail, Cabbage White, and several skippers.
Hope to post some butterfly shots from today's walk later.
(Would also like to thank Mother Nature for the sunshine, Fred Weber (pictured) and the volunteer naturalists from the Fyke Nature Association who helped out, and the Lee Memorial Library for all their butterfly activities.
Don't forget: Next Saturday night is Moth Night, brought to you by (and at) the John Fell House, Lee Memorial Library, and the Fyke Nature Association.
