Diagrams and Web Sites

[Cris Guppy & Aud Fischer]

I don't know of a website, but an excellent book for diagrams (in color) of
all aspects of Lepidoptera biology is Sbordoni, V. and  S. Forestiero. 1984,
reprinted 1998. Butterflies of the World. Firefly Books. The title is
misleading, both butterflies and moths (including micros) are treated
equally.

>We have been invited to give a talk on "Moths" to a local Natural History

>endless spiecies and put all to sleep, we thought it may be more productive
to
>give a generalised presentation on Lepidoptera and discuss some of the
problems
>- identification, Bt Pollen, taxonomy, collecting vs [or in sympathy with]
>photography - that Lepidoptera challenge us with.

>We will take along books that interest us, a limited collection of local
>spectacular species and a binocular microscope with some micros roughly
>mounted. Would it be worth including a couple of genitalia slides?
>
>This will be a one hour talk to people who have an interest and ability in
>Natural History, but who have only limited experience with Leps. What
should we
>omit and what should we include?
>
>Your thoughts would be much appreciated. The venue for the talk has an OHP
>available, hence our initial request for illustrations on web sites. We can
>print out slides, but we do not have a scanner available.

>Your input will be valued and may help raise the awareness of Lepidoptera
in
>the Natural History community.
