And its reappearance is something of a relief, because it is the official New York State insect, even though the last recorded sighting of it in New York was 29 years ago.

After scientists at Cornell confirmed Mr. Priolos find, they went to the Amagansett farm in mid- August to lead
42、a search that turned up about 20 more of the bugs. An area between rows of carrots and beans turned out to be a hot spot. “We found a lot of them on cosmos and zinnias,” said Dr. Losey said, an insect expert. The farm is part of the 10,000-acre Peconic Land Trust in Amagansett, and it is organic. Fo
