Karver Blue butterly and Northern Long Eared Bat Habitat Evaluation
The USFWS and NYSDEC on-line mapping shows the site as being an area that may include critical
habitat for the Karner Blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) and the Northern Long Eared Bat
(Myotis septentrionalis).
Yesterday, I investigated the site but did not find any wild blue lupine (Lupinus perennis), the only
host plant for Karner Blue butterflys, or suitable habitat(i.e. dead trees with cavities) for the
Northern Long Eared Bat(Myotis septentrionalis).
