Gov. Janet Mills held a bill signing ceremony Wednesday for LD 239, a measure by Rep. Lori K. Gramlich, D-Old Orchard Beach, to name the Pink-edged Sulphur the state butterfly. Gramlich introduced the bill after hearing from Loranger Middle School students Oscar Stanton and Tate Graham with the idea. Oscar and Tate joined Gramlich and Mills at the ceremony, along with the students' families, teachers Laura Seaver and Cynthia Nye, and officials from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
