Hi Felix,

It is a HUGE improvement isn't it. Now if Paul can convince Amy to
help him revise the Eastern guide to the same format...

I do have to say that I was disappointed to see that there are, now,
apparently only three says to study butterflies: watch, garden and
photograph. Seems that PC has hit the butterfly field guide business
in a big way.  Whatever happened to making a collection?!? It's not
for everyone but it IS a valid way to study butterflies...
