Tor Hansen, a naturalist and lepidopterist based in Orleans, has been documenting the winged visitors to the garden located at the entrance to the library parking lot. Designed and planted by the Orleans Conservation Trust, the garden contains butterfly weed, asters, purple echinacea and other pollinator-friendly native species.
A longtime resident of Cape Cod, Tor is co-author, with Mark Mello, of Butterflies across Cape Cod : a guide to finding, attracting, and observing butterflies on the Cape. We thank him for the time and energy he has spent assembling this unique eco-photo archive for Snow Library!
