Hmmm. I live just north of Debert. Will certainly watch for this butterfly. T=
here really aren't many butterflies around this year. I walk every day at lu=
nchtime and all I ever see is a few sulphurs.=20

Here's something that doesn't happen every day: A new butterfly
species has been recorded in the province.<br>
<br>
On August 21, Phil Schappert found <b>Eastern Tailed-Blue</b> at
several locations north of Debert. This eastern limit of this small
blue butterfly's population was previously thought to be in New
Brunswick, where it is only rarely seen, but Phil's discovery means
that it probably breeds in Nova Scotia. <br>
<br>
The butterfly looks superficially like many other blues, but the
tiny tails are distinctive, as is the colour pattern on the
underside of the wings.<br>
<br>
In Canada the Eastern Tailed-Blue is most commonly seen in southern
Ontario, but has been recorded from Saskatchewan to New Brunswick.<br>
<br>
You can see some great photos taken by Phil on the <a href="http://novascotiabutterflies.ca/ss.cgi?s=etbl">Nova Scotia
Butterflies</a> web site, and there is more information on the <a href="http://www.cbif.gc.ca/spp_pages/butterflies/species/EasternTailedBlue_e.php">Butterflies
of Canada</a> web site.<br>
<br>
Congratulations, Phil!<br>
