Maya Bank - Shikman passing

I just read sad news from Staten Island that Maya passed away from cancer. She was too young . She was from accounts i read an exceptional naturalist particularly in the field of insects.

I have not met Maya regretfully but heard often of her  whenever it involved Butterflies. From a friend's Facebook post, she was an exceptional kind hearted person. She left the birding and nature communities too soon.
