On Tuesday Sept. 24 John J. Collins spotted and photographed an extremely rare for the area Long-tailed Skipper at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst. It is only the second time this butterfly has been documented in Bergen County, the first being at the Bergen County Audubon Society Butterfly Garden in Overpeck Park some six years ago. Fantastic find and thanks to John!!
Wonderful sighting! The blue green coloring on its body contrasting with its tan wings is just beautiful. BCAS members on the job!
