The Massachusetts Butterfly Club is celebrating our 30th year! To see a brief history of the club and how it began, click here.

On December 3 we hosted Robert Gallardo speaking on Butterflies of Honduras. Robert is building a nature reserve and working on a complete guide to Honduran butterflies, and has made several discoveries of new species in the process. A link to the recording of this talk is here: https://youtu.be/jZHgYwnwuCc.
