Miami Blue Chapter members were part of the field monitoring team. Thanks to the dedicated work of so many, the endangered Schaus swallowtail numbers are up from a low point in 2012! Check out the article for more about the butterfly!

[Florida Museum @FloridaMuseum]

Volunteers have spent years trekking through mosquito-saturated forest preserves to count Schaus’ swallowtail butterflies 🦋 and researchers leading the monitoring and breeding program see a glimmer of hope for this federally endangered Florida species.

Hey there everyone, Miami Blue Chapter of NABA is back on Twitter!

[NABA Miami Blue @NABAMiamiBlue]

@GrayFeist @ButterflyBCBC There was low attendance (~215); however, the programs ran smoothly: we saw lots of hummingbirds, songbirds, butterflies, and bee; guest speakers were informative; vendors/stations were engaging; there were tours in the forest and garden; and the weather was pleasant.
