President’s Message

pring is has sprung in Harbor Beach and she is
giving us spectacular "Chamber of Commerce"
Sweather and a grand display of beautiful
blooming trees and flowers all around us! Please take
a moment to get outside and enjoy it before Summer
steals it away!
The very rare Atala Butterfly graces the cover of this
issue. Joining our new neighbors flocking here from
New York, California, Virginia and beyond, the Atala
Butterfly, once thought extinct in Broward, has taken up
residence in the native Coontie in our Butterfly Garden!
Establishing new breeding ground for the Atala is very
exciting because the Lepidopterologists said it was
impossible. The Atala was too far gone to re-establish a
presence yet their arrival here proves once again:
"Build it and they will come".
Annette Ross
President Please see the photos of the various life stages of the
Atala and if you see any form of the immature butterfly
in your yard or garden please leave them be and don't
