The Enterprise — Michael Koff
The telltale blue of the Karner butterfly glows in Thursday morning’s sun soon after its release. Twenty-four wild adult female Karners were captured in the Albany Pine Bush Preserve on May 27 and transported to the New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game in Concord where the eggs they produced were raised to chrysalises and returned to the commission. The adults emerging now at the Discovery Center are released daily at sites that are too isolated for them to find on their own.
