Hi,
If anyone has any Ephestia moths (Pyralidae : Lepidoptera), and in particular
E.kuehniella, E. cautella or E.ellutella in culture, but any pyralid moth 
would suffice, I would be most grateful if you would be willing to send me 
some so that i can get laboratory cultures established asap for lab and 
field work this summer. The genetic strain, age or geographic location of 
origin, nor the degree of bottlenecking etc is not that important as they 
are to be reared as hosts for a couple of ichneumonid parasitoids.
Please ask for more details etc if you wish.
thanks
rob
