Asking for help with Zale moths

[ac182 at umail.umd.edu]

Hello, everybody.  I am a member of the Lepidopterists' Society 
and am in great need of some help.  I have developed some genetic 
markers for Zale lunata and Zale galbanata (Noctuidae), and 
now I need to test their ability to identify variation in populations.  
For that, I need moths from different areas of the US, and I am 
asking people who collect moths "in bulk" if they would be willing 
to spare some specimens from these 2 species and place their 
bodies in 100% alcohol soon after collecting (after clipping the 
wings, placing them in a glassine envelope, and cross-labeling 
them), and mail both bodies and wings to me (I will pay for 
postage), or bring them to the Lep Soc meetings in NC.  Could any 
of you help me if you go collecting?  Thanks so much!  Astrid
