I am forwarding this message from Paula Cannon, a frequent contributer to American Butterflies magazine and a resident of Big Pine Key.
Dear insect and butterfly lovers,
If you know anyone willing to write a brief letter in regard to why mosquito control should NOT be spraying on refuge land nationwide, there is a two month comment period regarding this where the public can tell their view. I’ve included the contact info. Please pass it to any butterfly people you know. They are allowing comments till Feb 18. It is very important that everyone responds, very few knew about this the first time around and only a few comments were sent in, so they extended the comment period as requested. Please send comments to: [e-mail:refugesystempolicycomments@fws.gov]
Let them know that mosquito control chemicals are killing our butterflies and many other insects. Insects deserve to be protected on refuge lands.
On Dec. 30, 2007, mosquito control sprayed Big Pine Key, FL for the second time in 4 days. My yard count went from 138 butterflies to 0 and has remained at 0 since they sprayed. These chemicals are devastating to the butterflies and other insects.
Thanks for your help, and please pass this on.
Art Constantino
