transporting adult butterflies

[Kenelm Philip]

	I have been able to send live adults from Fairbanks, Alaska to
Wisconsin (by FedEx) some days after capture with good results. The key
steps were:

1. Keep them in a refrigerator between capture and mailing.
2. Provide humidity in the container (both before and during mailing).
3. Feed them on dilute sugar water just before mailing.
