I'm forwarding this message to the JBS-L list on behalf of Phillip deMaynadier from Inland Fisheries: Is there any chance that JBS members might have local knowledge of good Rumex wetlands in the Eastern Lowlands (approx N. of Rt 9, E. of Bangor, and S. of Houlton)? We're interested in identifying a butterfly of Special Concern, the Bronze Copper. The key to finding this butterfly is locating good patches of its host plant. We're looking for wet meadows and marshes with good populations of Rumex (orbiculatus or crispus). We're especially interested in site locales for the Eastern Lowlands and Aroostook Hills and Lowlands ecoregions (basically from Bangor east and north). Thanks!
