We in New Jersey are apparently not in the same "East" since butterflies have not been particularly numerous this year (except for the Vanessas, Red Admiral and American Lady). Even Pierids (Cabbage, sulphurs) have been low). Yesterday (June 30) we held the seventh Lakehurst 4jc with essentially identical coverage as last year. The species count of 42 was the same as last year but there were fewer than half the number of individuals. More importantly every observer commented on the dearth of butterflies. It was a hot, miserable day. We thought the heat may have influenced activity, but when we checked spots in the afternoon there wasn't much improvement. Nectar sources, particularly Common Milkweed (A. vulgaris) were abundant. We'll see what the other New Jersey counts show.

I got my 4th species to date, Banded Hairstreak, to my lights last night. In the past, I've had White M, Hickory and Striped Hairstreaks. The little butterfly always looks so sleek and delicate when it is surrounded by moths. It's a cat amongst the dogs. Also on the sheet earlier was a Tiger Swallowtail larva on "walkabout". I brought it in and it's now a chrysallis. As for the moths, numerous - probably over 50spp! This heat is bringing them in.

A four-foot close-focus is worthless if the image is terrible (poor sharpness, inaccurate colors, etc.), and optical standouts that only let you get 15 feet from the butterfly are not much better. Mechanically, it is much easier (and cheaper) to design close-focus capability into a compact binocular (a 20 to 32mm front objective size) than a 42mm binocular. That's why there are so few 8x42s and 10x42s on the market that focus closer than 10 feet, and there are NO x50s or x56s. The ones that do are pretty expensive - Swarovski ELs (~$1400), B&L Elites (~$800), Kahles (~$650), the newer Leicas (~$1100), Pentax WPs (~$550), etc. The only logical reason to buy a compact is because of its small size and weight - a full-size of the same price will give far better performance. Since we are generally doing our butterflying during sunny days, the binocular's exit pupil size is not a big factor, since our eye pupil contracts in the brightness. However, the bigger objective lens size means that the image has better resolution (it's linear - a 40mm binocular will have DOUBLE the sharpness of a 20mm). That means you will see finer details on a butterfly / dragonfly with a 42mm vs. a 32mm from the same distance. That advantage carries over into the birding world, where the bigger exit pupil gives a brighter image in poor lighting conditions (the norm in birding). OK, so choice #1 is price, and choice #2 is size. NOW you can worry about power. Logically, you would opt for a high-power, close-focusing unit. However, the SMALLER the binocular is, the HARDER it is to hold steady. Also, if you wear eyeglasses, a low-power model should have a longer eye-relief and a wider field of view - it does you no good if you can't locate what you want to look at. Having sold binoculars at retail for many years, I have seen too many people fall into the "Tim Taylor Syndrome (More Power!...huh, huh, huh...)" (he's no relation of mine, that's for sure), and never get a good look at what they want to see. Also, some people can hold a binocular with less shake, so a 10x gives better results, while others benefit greatly from stepping down to an 8x or 7x model. In other words, listen carefully to the recommendations of others, and then TRY THE BINOCULAR OUT FOR YOURSELF! What works for them may not work for you. My own choice?

Since I've been back in Chicago some five summers now, it wasn't until late July that I would notice that a diversity of species made their appearance. This year, I've seen more species of butterflies in fewer places and closer to home, than my former years of day-tripping to noted butterfly spots throughout the area. A Variegated Fritillary at my garbage cans in the alley?! Unheard of! Yet there it was in mid-June when I took out my garbage. Pipevine and Spicebush Swallowtails in the container gardens on the terrace at the Field Museum on Lake Michigan, Monarchs in May, Red Spotted Purples and a Grey Hairstreak on the Museum Campus, and an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail on a busy street near the grocery store...and more Commas, Question Marks, Azures, American Ladies and Red Admirals than I've ever encountered in my daily preambles to and from my home. And I'm not even looking for them! As for the ubiquitous Cabbage Whites: Barely any to speak of...they are outnumbered by Clouded Sulphurs. Even non-butterfly enthusiasts have remarked on the number of butterflies they have observed near their homes' proximity. Whatever the reason, all I can say is: It's about time!!! It could just be the bugs have finally discovered Mayor Daley's "City in a Garden," and are taking advantage of all the invested years of plantings... As an aside: I never witnessed any true "northward movement" of the Vanessas...just random flight direction, lots of nectaring and territorials displays. The Red Admirals are still present in large numbers. Also, a man who lives in the southwestern part of the county told me he discovered "hundreds of Monarchs" roosting in his garage "two weeks ago" (!) Was he deluded?! M.B.

I have never reared these butterflies before, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how I would get them to mate and oviposite and such. How big of an enclosure should I provide? What's the prefered host plant? I've heard that aspen (Populus) as well as ash (Fraxinus) are used, but there are lots of both species around my house, but I haven't seen a single P. canadensis around my neighbourhood so perhaps this isn't so applicable in my case?

The numbers being seen are because of yesterdays weather - actually last years (seasons). The cold winter and conducive conditions for egg and pupal survival. Before that conducive conditions for larval survival. Don't be surprised if the explosion in this years Vanessa species results in larval overcrowding, insufficient host availability for the size of the demand, increased disease and predation which would result in a bust year next season and the next and next. There will be more parasitic wasps and flies now that will have the upper hand in the food chain for a few years. Then the cycle will begin over again. What I am saying is that we notice adults and their population fluctuations. We do not see the immatures and their fluctuations. We start with many many times the number eggs than larvae and many many times the number of larvae than pupae and adults. So if there is a big drop next year don't blame it on spraying, over collecting, etc. "blame" (attribute) it to an unhealthy out of balance population explosion the season before - and see it as nature simply bringing populations back to normal levels.

It could just I think that because the butterfly abundance is so widespread across the U.S., and because there have been some unusual dispersal/migrations of the painted lady and red admiral, and also because of my own observation during memorial day weekend last year and particularly this year in the San Bernardino mountains, the real cause of the increased and early abundance is not usual mix of ecological factors, but instead GLOBAL WARMING due to man-woman made causes (anthropogenic causes).

I expect the large numbers will result in many starving caterpillars (if not in the first brood, then in the next) throughout the east as the butterfly to nettle ratio was/is very high. Papilio canadensis are also very abundant and I am starting to see white admirals here. The luna population also seems to be very high this year. Perhaps the heavy snowfall offered them some extra protection from predators If this response has been helpful or if you have enjoyed the pictures and information on one of my websites, please go to http://www.silkmoths.bizland.com/emerge.htm and click on the flashing butterfly.

Vanessa virginiensis (American Lady) was unusually common this spring (not in huge numbers, but commoner than most years), and a number of clones of Plantain-leafed Pussytoes, its commonest host in our area (Somerset Co, NJ) have been wiped out. It seems like the females almost prefer to lay in clones (about 1 m in diameter) that have already received eggs, even when there are untouched clones of plant nearby (within 10 m). We thought it might have to do with shade or sun, but no consistent pattern emerges. Fly parasites do seem to be common, but not enough data (yet) to indicate whether they are more or less common this year than previously. However, on weeks where there is a lot of butterfly nectaring activity, there is a clear suppression of activity on really hot, bright afternoons (temp > 90f, strong insolation).

I'll respond here to the first of her "questions", which I assume was largely rhetorical: MIKE GOCHFELD Barb Beckwrote: , "Are the Pollard walks randomly assigned or just in areas where people like to walk? Around here people are just picking places that are convenient and nice to walk. We are trying to do one. True they are very useful in getting precise information and very good data on a very small area. But are people covering areas which are not nice areas to go for a butterfly walk in? Are volunteers happy covering an area with few butterflies or only very common butterflies week after week?" The answer is NO. In Britain the Butterfly Monitoring Scheme began in 1976 (there was an earlier survey beginning in 1967). It began at the Monks Wood Reserve. It has spread in UK, but mainly in the southern part of England where there are enough observers (and enough butterflies to attract interest and provide data). The results are presented in the book by E. Pollard and T.J. Yates, MONITORING BUTTERFLIES FOR ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION published by Chapman and Hall. in 1993. Chapter 4 deals with sites and site selection. The sites include Nature Conservancy Council preserves =51 Local Wildlife or Woodland Trust Preserves =17 Royal Society for Protection of Bird Preserves =13 Forestry Commission sites =7 (I don't know if these are preserves in any meaningful sense) National Trust lands =4 Local Authorities (parks) =2 Private lands (mainly farmlands) =12 It specifically states that other sites (e.g. suburban gardens) are not represented. There is no evidence that sites are chosen to be randomly representative of the countryside. Rather they would seem to be optimum butterfly sites, so that the population trends can be assessed under optimal data gathering conditions. Sites are visited at least once a week from April thru September. The traditional transect was along a "ride" through woods which seems uniquely English. All butterflies within 5 m in front of the observer are counted and no extra attempt is made to dislodge or flush hidden butterflies (i.e. beating the bush). There's more to the method which is worth considering. So it is not necessary to organize a count for your local shopping mall parking lot, but if you had a count there when it was a "wasteland" (i.e. an old field full of flowering plants), then documenting the total demise of biodiversity might be worth doing once.

Whether it is apparent next year depends on phenology and whether there are early life stages hidden away. Mike Gochfeld New post from Ron: I agree. I was only referring to the knee-jerk that the fringe element always throws up no matter what other "evidence" (factors) may be involved. Here is a new thread and tragic element of modern population explosions. When habitat is as it should be (as God intended it) - available-, population explosion is a mechanism to facilitate species dispersal into new unoccupied but suitable niches. For example, a fire would burn 2,000 acres and open up the forest floor and make clearing where things like Elfin and skipper species could now move into and sustain there existence as organisms. At the same time the original area from which this explosion and dispersal originated might well become naturally extinct by 1) that habitat area's continued evolution to climax forest or 2) parasite/predation pressure. The tragic element is that the "new" (old fire recycled areas) are now parking lots or corn fields due to man's destruction of habitat. Yes, we can artificially manage habitat for these now trapped local populations. But we can not "protect" them from the natural cycles of parasites and disease which are the natural controls.

It is interesting to note that the injection of this hormone into the 'mature' larval stages of some hawks moths (just prior larval 'shrinkage' and pupation) have been shown to delay the pupation process and induce a further 'giant' larval stage.

One might look at local species, or one widespread species like the painted lady and be tempted to apply the usual population dynamic considerations, such as predator/parasite-pray interactions, but I think when you look at the whole picture, i.e., a lot of other of species and the whole U.S. including other countries, global warming is the more probable explanation for what we have been seeing this year. And why should be object? If global warming is resulting in more and earlier lepidopteran species, then this could be viewed one good side effect of it.

Apparently the more wasps in the caterpillar, the more molts it will go through, allowing more of the wasps to get enough nutrients to develop. Sometimes the larva will even go into an extra (6th) molt if the wasps need more time. They are able to induce a high level of juvenile hormone to keep the larva from pupating.

To elaborate, here's a hypothetical example. Suppose one finds a butterfly which has just died, but has mated. If the eggs were removed from the abdomen, would the eggs be fertile?

The results were that the larva proceeded into giant 7th instar. They then attempted to reinject the larva at the end of this stage also, but the this time the larve did pupate. This IS however all from recollection!

Message-ID: <6630e959.0107040429.68da3f4d@posting.google.com> Last weekend I was on a collecting trip in Eastern Pennsylvania. A number of Noctuidae, Pyralidae, and geometridae were found. However I came across a moth I have never seen before. It was a small white moth about 20 to 25cm in wing span. At rest the wings were at 90deg to the wall that it was on. Much as a butterfly would be at rest. Because it was about 2200 hours EDST the possibly of it being a butterfly was unlikely. The FW and HW were rounded. With no other markings, ie: black or brown dots. I will be going back to the same place this weekend, and with any luck be able to get a better I.D. Can anyone help me on the I.D.

It had been nearly 40 hours since I had had any sleep. Tired but wired, I decided to post a mere 9 species list on the carolina leps group. Knowing that most of the folks there like to use common names (something that I am just not in the habit of doing after 40 + years of working with butterflies) I dug out a book and furnished 5 of the nine with common names (one does not have a common name). Well I got this nicely worded, but still terse, intolerant, and condescending post the next day asking me to please use common names with the scientific ones. I wrote the person back that I try to do this as much as possible to be considerate of those not familiar with the correct (scientific) names. I told them I was a little perplexed by their post as I HAD furnished common names for most of the species - and went to extra effort to do so. I bit my tongue on wanting to ask if they ever wrote the people who only post common names asking them to please use the scientific ones also for the benefit of those who may not be familiar with the common ones. I did tell the individual that one problem I do have with common names is that many of the ones I know and have used for 40 years have now been changed to whatever the new groups want to call them - especially those which were named after collectors. (It is not that they were named after a person, but after a collector that they don't like.) Over the last couple of days some posts have come in that list species by neither common or correct names. I have seen this several times before and today have just had all of it I can take. The last two from two differnet persons were: "lots of SSS skippers.." and " a LBJ skipper that.." Who is supposed to know what these are other than some snoby little dumbded down click that likes to slam those who dare to use correct names? If this isn't a one way street I don't know what is. God forbid that I should email one of these individuals or GROUPS and ever suggest they be considerate and provide a-common-names-unfamiliar old timer like me with names I know - or that one of the many subscribers to these lists from a foreign country dare to ask what the heck an LBJ skipper is. The only LBJ they probably know is a dead US president. This post is not about the use of common names or correct names. It is about a whole buss load of people who are just plain rude. They love to dish it out but can't take it. It is their way or the else. They are a majority and don't give a rats behind how others think (in scientific names), or what others like (collecting). They are subscribed to internationally open, public, chat groups and demand that everyone else use and understand their terms and only practice those activities that they approve of. And if anyone turns the tables and points the mirror back at them, these cry out bloody murder and declare that anyone who questions them must be enemies of the environment. Of course, on the other hand, I can understand why they would want to say and write GSF rather than Great Spangled Fritillary, or GBS rather than Golden Banded Skipper. I don't say those common names either - they are too long. It is much easier for me to just say and write cybele or cellus. But that, is obviously either too difficult for them to say or understand - in spite of the fact that many of them are lawyers, doctors, and college grads.

Their agenda is to instill fear and worry." One could just as easily claim that pesticide salesmen wantonly prey upon people's arthropod phobias... In reality, most governments, NGO's, schools and homeowners naturally want to reduce biocide usage for both cost and for personal and environmental health reasons. More than one million people in San Antonio rely on the Edwards Aquifer as their only water source. This area also has one of the highest levels of subterranean biodiversity in the world. In the article below, the National Audubon Society is thanking the people of San Antonio for reducing their pesticide usage, not instilling fear and worry. Mike Quinn -----Original Message----- From: Michelle Haggerty [mailto:mhaggerty at wfscgate.tamu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 9:08 AM Media Contact: John Bianchi 212-979-3026 Susan Hughes 210-822-4503/862-1150 AUDUBON NAMES SAN ANTONIO 'HABITAT HEROES' Mayor Ed Garza, local community leaders cited as pioneers and models for new national initiative San Antonio, TX, June 26th, 2001 - Today the National Audubon Society presented the City of San Antonio, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, San Antonio Water System, and Alamo Area Master Naturalists with "Habitat Hero" awards for their commitment to native plants and reduced-pesticide landscaping. The awards are part of a nationwide Audubon initiative called Healthy Habitats: Backyards, Schoolyards and Beyond aimed at reducing pesticide use and creating healthy habitats. Audubon chose San Antonio to be one of three campaign launch cities because of residents' level of commitment to and interest in innovative landscaping practices. "Audubon is proud to recognize the extraordinary work going on in San Antonio," said Frank Gill, Audubon's Senior Vice President for Science. "We believe the city's reduction of pesticide use and commitment to native plants serve as a model for the rest of the country." Audubon launched its national campaign in response to startling new data on bird mortality. In 2000, prompted by concern about the spread of West Nile Virus, New York State asked counties to report dead birds to its wildlife pathology laboratory. After receiving more than 80,000 birds, the lab discovered that, while virus was a factor in some deaths, the leading cause was pesticide poisoning, responsible for 48 percent of birds tested. "San Antonio is a beautiful place to live," said San Antonio Mayor Ed Garza. "We believe that through the city's efforts to reduce pesticide use, it's also a safer place." In addition to calling on organizations and businesses to reduce pesticide use, Audubon is urging individuals to consider changing the way they care for their lawns. Through introducing native plants and using alternatives to pesticides, Americans can maintain an attractive, healthy yard that is safer for children and wildlife. "We've seen that San Antonio residents are eager to use a reduced-pesticide approach to their lawns. Oftentimes the only stumbling block is how to get started," said Sherry Hess, President of Alamo Area Master Naturalists, a volunteer group that works with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "We can give them some fantastic ideas about how to incorporate wildscaping into their plans, thus reducing the need for pesticides and water, while encouraging native wildlife." Audubon's national initiative Healthy Habitats: Backyards, Schoolyards and Beyond is aimed at quantifiably reducing pesticide use nationwide by working with neighborhoods and communities, engaging local businesses, and supporting local and state legislation that reduces backyard pesticide use. "Working with other local groups to bring environmental issues to the fore in San Antonio has been incredibly rewarding," said Susan Hughes, an officer of Baxer Audubon and a member of the state and national Audubon boards. "Through our quarterly San Antonio Environmental Network forums and annual South Texas Farm & Range Forum, we hope to further increase the public's awareness of the need to decrease pesticide use." Founded in 1905 and supported by 600,000 members in 510 chapters throughout the Americas, the National Audubon Society conserves and restores natural ecosystems, focusing on birds and other wildlife, and their habitats, for the benefit of humanity and the earth's biological diversity. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mike Quinn Invertebrate Biologist Wildlife Diversity Branch Texas Parks & Wildlife 3000 I-35 South, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78704 Phone, Fax: 512-912-7059, -7058 mike.quinn at tpwd.state.tx.us http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/nature/nature.htm ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From stanlep at extremezone.com Wed Jul 4 23:15:33 2001 From: stanlep at extremezone.com (Stanley A.

I said this is not about common or correct names. It is about _people_ who live on a one way street - the one with their name on it. It is about throngs who _refuse_ to use correct names but at the same time _insist_ that all others use common names. And now, more and more, they are just using letters that they expect everyone else to know. Even you don't _know_ what LBJ stood for, you just "assume". And you are quite willing to just assume in order to protect and promote your sacred cow. This is real good science, real good documentation of, and relaying of, observed taxa to the world community. You are so full of yourself and condescending that you think I am so far below you that I didn't figure out for myself that SSS was probably for Silver spotted Skipper. I didn't post that post, or this, because poor little Ronnie didn't know what something was. My point is _ why_ should I have to _figure out_ a taxon like this when all the people who _prefer_common names need to do is supply a correct name along with it - the exact thing that was_ demanded_ that I do in reverse. And if Silver-spotted Skipper is to much trouble to type or say, try just "clarus". Sorry Wanda, there is nothing standardized about "your" names. You can't even keep them a year without changing them. There was nothing wrong with (1833) Ogeechee Brown Hairstreak as a common name - somebody just didn't like it. Which was their prerogative, and mine - I have chosen to keep using it. That is what common names are all about - what ever us common people want to call something. Every single known organism on the planet already has a correct name - these are highly regulated under international rules called the ICZN, ICBN etc. - a real - standardized system that has been in place for centuries.

Mike, this thread was about NABA's opposition to the aerial spraying for mosquitoes over New York City. Government public health officials ordered this spraying and viewed its risks as "negligible". By contrast, NABA's website describes the risks of spraying in the following very worrisome way: "devastating to butterflies and other non-target species, and frightening and potentially harmful to many humans". Likewise NABA is agressively opposed to all commercial butterfly releases. Federal and State agriculture departments, on the other hand, view the risks associated with the release of 9 common, widespread and migratory species as "negligible". By contrast, NABA's website describes the risk of release in the following very worrisome way: "Releasing commercially-raised butterflies into the environment is an act of anti-environmental terror."

Can't you lighten up? It's about butterflies. As for your notion that the "correct name" for an organism is the one that the scientists give it, nonsense! Children and poets name things, and if we don't like the scientists' names, they will fade away like morning dew. Just go on using both sets of names, setting a good example to the others, and ignore the whiners. That's a nice web page, although I think Occuring needs another r in there. Right up top, too. Proof readers tend to miss headline typos. Me, I'm looking at a garden full of chickadees, and trying to remember what I'm supposed to call them in Ireland. Coal tit, I think. They are blithely unaware of any label I may care to attach to them, and so will your butterflies be, as long as you haven't pinned them down. Blessed be all of you, scholars and saints, on this fine morning, and may your bile flow sweetly into its proper channels, attend to your digestion, and quit clogging this list.

That's just the point. I use both as often and as much as I know. But there is a huge group that not only does not use "both" but _refuses_ to use "both" and _also_ gripes (via personal email) to high heaven if someone else (me) doesn't use theirs, which just so happens to be common names, 100% of the time. I post a post using correct names for 9 taxa and also dig out 5 of their common names (which I personally seldom use) while I am dog tired from a 20 hr work day _just_ to be nice to those who prefer common names, and I get a personal email kicking me in the teeth by asking me to please use [all] _common_ names. This is not the exception, it is the rule. My other point is this stupid initial stuff - that is what my 13 year old does all day - FYI, BTW, 3B, NGIT etc. It is about butterflies, isn't it. Or is it? If it was really about butterflies people would be interested in what they "really" are and wouldn't be _forbidding_ the use of their correct names except in boring scientific journals. You sure seem to care about the correct name when it comes to yours. Is it Ann or Anne? It is Anne, as you specifically pointed out to me when I first got on this group and called you Ann because I wasn't paying attention. But, I am forgetting that this is a one way street. *We* have to use whatever people and butterfly names X prefers, but X has no reciprocal obligation, or even common courtesy, to use those names that *we* prefer.

All the traps but two are flat bottm type and two are my lastest design yet to be named. I use bait traps with fermenting fruit primarily for moths, but anything that will visit fermenting fruit will also become entrapped, including butterflies. I use rotting meat (Frogs, Toads and a snake run through a blender or better known around my house as reptilian copped meat!) for Nymphalids, especially Polygonia species. I check my traps daily and here is a short list of some of the species I have taken: It has been a great year for Catocala! C. ilia C. ultronia C. grynea C. amica C. crategae C. piatrix C. palaeogama C. nebulosa C. coccinata C. mycronympha C. judith C. epione C. dejecta C. retecta C. electa C. innubens C. habulis C. obscura C. insolabilis C. maestosa C. subnata C. neogama C. cerogama C. amatrix C. illecta C. Clintoni C. connubialis Butterflies to date: Basilarchia archippus B. arthemus astyanax Vanessa atalanta Polygonia interrogantionis P. comma Nymphalis antiopa Phyciodes tharos Astreocampa celtis A. clyton E. anthedon E. portlandia(?) It is not E. p. missarkae which occurs in the western part of the state. Megisto cymela Hermeuptycia sosybius Cyllopsis gemma Cercyonis pegala alope (F. carolina?) I have found both forms in the same trap. Here’s a good one for Ron Gatrelle to work on, eastern C. pegala. Talk about subspecies!!! Cercyonis pegala nephele The most interesting take was Atilides halesus. I set out a trap near the Keeneland Race Track in Lexington, Fayette County among some pecan trees looking for C. aggripina. I trapped a total of 6 males and 3 females of Atlides halesus in three days in one trap. The trap was hung over thirty feet above the ground. I have taken this species in traps in Georgia and Florida, but only as single specimens. I noticed during the winter that mistletoe was abundant in the tree in the area. So far, this has been a great year for Lepidoptera here in Kentucky. The original adult flight Megisto cymela was mid May here in Kentucky, I saw the last individual in early June. However, there is another flight beginning June 30. Although not as common, I have taken over a dozen individuals. The genitalia are identical. Evidently it is a second brood, OR, a second population of the same species that emerges at a different time. I have four females that I have oviposited over 50 eggs. We shall see next year.

Very well put. No-one has to put up with this kind of self defeating nonsense. My present solution (on the Texas List, which is picky too) : I give scientific name, traditional common name (if there is one), then (in parentheses) the NABA name of the moment (if there is one). With all three laid out there is a possibility that some traditional knowledge may be picked up by accident by the NABA-only folks. ...................Chris Durden At 04:33 PM 7/4/2001 -0400, you wrote: >A week ago I got back about midnight from 12 hours of driving (total round >trip) and 9 hours of doing Leps survey work for the Forest Service.

Albeit, Ron may have gotten a bit heavy and I am sure Wanda is a nice lady, but there seems to be a bit of a contradiction between the question, and this subsequent statement.

They may fade away in the minds of 'we', which I take to mean the proponents of common names, but they will hardly fade away in science simply because someone whimsically does not like them. If they change at all, it will be the result of advances in science, i.e., taxonomy, genetics, systematics, species concepts (PhyloCode), etc. I was myself perplexed by the ambiguity of the abbreviation LBJ, "little brown job", and how anyone could defend this naming convention. However, I do agree with the one statement: >Just go on using both sets of names, setting a good example to the >others, and ignore the (vitriol snipped). This is a hobby to some for enjoyment, and it should remain an enjoyment. Finally, I really don't see the point of butterflies not caring what we call them. I should hope so. It would certainly slow things down if butterflies had to be personally consulted before we assigned a name to them!

My name is Nick Humphreys and I am a forest technician with the Canadian Forest Service working at the Pacific Forestry Centre in Victoria, British Columbia. One of my projects is the monitoring of exotic pest that my enter Canada. I also write publications dealing with these pests which have included: Anoplophora glabripennis, Ips typographus, Tomicus piniperda and Callidiellum rufipenne. The nun moth, Lymantria monacha, is an exotic insect pest of much concern to Canada and I have been asked to publish another advisory on this insect. However, we have almost no pictures of the nun moth and I was hoping that someone in this group could help me in getting access to any photos of this pest. Or put me in touch with someone who could help. I have also been trying to get in contact with a Broder Bejer and entomologist who used to be with the University of Copenhagen. Any leads to how I might accomplish this would be appreciated. We have found that photographic slides work best for reproduction purposes. If you could send us slide material we could have it copied at our end and send the originals/duplicates back to you very quickly. You would be given credit for any photos used in the publication as well as reimbursed for any costs that you might incur. I require pictures of all life stages and damage. If you would like copies of any of my previous exotic publications please let me know and I would be happy to send them to you. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me by email, fax or telephone. Thanks very much for your time.

A friend of mine, who is primarily a butterfly person (never was a birder), has his own term for moths (which he has been getting interested in enough in the last few years to do some moth trapping) - he calls them BFJs "Brown Flappy Things". I've tried pointing out to him that many moths are not brown and Noctuids and others buzz rather than flap, but to no avail.

Like all good moth people, I have several drawers of unidentified moths, which I simply put into the drawers. The drawers are labeled "UFO"'s. The material may change but the drawers never go away entirely. (On a slightly different note) I do my best in the field to identify and propagate species information (in a universal, scientific context) to the faceless masses in etherland - with the expectation, somewhat presumptuously, that someone out there cares or can benefit from this information. In my drawers, however, you'll find only date and location data. I figure that whatever these bugs actually are, they won't become anything different over mine or my children's lifetimes. Names become rather unimportant compared to the REAL data - which is the existence of the specimen at the time and location indicated on the label. I figure that in spite of what I call it, it deserves the scrutiny of tomorrow's taxonomists - who will undoubtedly be equipped with a different insight (be it more or less). Shalom, Mark Walker.

Actually before I got there I was covered up in hairstreaks in VA on highway 33 just before the WV state line. I managed to get photos of at least 15 species, including 6 new species for my collection. The new ones were all lifers, they included Pink-edged Sulphur, Bog Copper (male and female), Atlantis Fritillary, Harris` Checkerspot (worn female with eggs), European Skipper and Long Dash. Also I`m fairly certain I might have had a Indian Skipper perched on a rock at the top of Spruce Knob the photo will tell. And I had a odd flying male crescent, that could have been a Northern Crescent it was in perfect habitat for the species yet it seemed too small to be one, until I get the photos I`ll just call it a crescent species. I had a lot of people help we with places to go including some long time experts that I`m sure would be more comfortable with Latin names so I`m using both names on my list. I`ll also be placing the photos on a web page at my www.rlephoto.com web site with a more elaborate report when the slides are back. Noted these abbreviations P for photograph and x2, x3 means 2 or 3 different individuals photographed .

I will forward the message to Wesley Lanyon (then head of the bird department) to see if he remembers how they were special. I'm sure they fit into a standard six foot fluorescent fixture. Ironically on both sides of the booths were 10 foot high windows which received the afternoon sun.

This got a rise out of a few folks so I thought I'd post this. The reason it got a rise is that the meaning of this phrase is very clear in two directions. First, it points to itself (scientific names) as correct, and by virtue of that, secondarily points to common names as somehow incorrect - which is obviously why those who use (sometimes exclusively) common names got their feathers ruffled. I chose that term because it is both accurate and sets common vs. scientific name usage in the proper context. Some of those who employ (exclusively) the usage of common names for organisms have given the _impression_ that the two name groupings - scientific and common - are equal. In other words it is simply that one faction chooses to use scientific and another common. It doesn't matter, one or the other as they are equal. That is the impression. The reality is that common and scientific names are not equal in any way shape or form. At birth I was given my proper name - Ronald Richard Gatrelle. Over the decades I have also been given various nick names - bug man, spider, dear, daddy etc. Yet, I only have one _correct_ name. It is on my birth certificate, drivers license, Social Security card, marriage license, on court summons for jury duty, my will, and will be on my death certificate, and tomb stone. The following sums up how and why scientific epithets are, like my correct name, the only correct names of organisms . It is a short excerpt from a scientific paper I wrote. The subject matter of the article had nothing to do with common names or common vs. scientific names. It had to do with scientific epithets vs. other scientific epithets and the rules governing such. Here is the quote. "Scientific names are not really names. They are technical labels which are affixed to organisms to distinguish and organize them according to their present relationships with near relatives as attained by their past evolutionary path. Each unique identifying label (name) is affixed to a specific population and can not be moved by subsequent workers to apply to another population of a different evolutionary station - be it another species or subspecies. The linguistic identity of an organism is understood by these Latinized scientific labels. The biological identity of these same organisms is understood by the designation of a type specimen." At this point I intend to use the phrase "correct name" rather than "scientific name" in future posts - as these are one in the same. I would not be disappointed if others did likewise. I am sure the other side will object much like the Pro Life people were put on the defensive by the "other sides" decision to call their movement Pro Choice. ... What, you are against freedom of choice? ... What, are you against correct epithets? Ron PS Since I use common names myself, I have no objection to common names except that, 1) there needs to be a whole lot more of them - one for each subspecific biological entity, and 2) that it be recognized that an organism's correct name and its common name(s) (Camberwell Beauty/Mourning Cloak) are on two entirely different scales. I also state, as I have in the past, that those who insist on common names _only_ are part of a dumbed down movement away from Lepidopterology and being lepidopterists. ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From drdn at mail.utexas.edu Tue Jul 10 01:17:17 2001 From: drdn at mail.utexas.edu (Chris J.

One might say that there are perhaps several scientific epithets on "record" for a given taxon - so which one is the _correct_ one? Or, how can _A_ name be correct when there are several to choose from? The very fact that someone would ask these questions demonstrates that they do not understand the science of systematic taxonomy. One has to become familiar with several terms, their definitions and applications. These terms are. Available name Unavailable name Valid name Correct name In the above questions what is being address is the issue of what is the _valid name_ not correct name. One would be asking which of the proposed (over time) names is the taxonomically valid name. That is an entirely different issue than that of correct vs. common names.

A scientific name is NO MORE OR LESS correct and certainly no more stable over time than any other name which people bestow on what they think they understand as what may be a species (or other level taxon). The next reviser comes along with a different concept or method and the names change. It's too bad that naming and classification have been inextricably linked in the past century. Maybe the next century (or millenium) will see a different approach. Maybe it's the best mere mortals can accomplish. But maybe it's not unique to organisms. Do other names change as language evolves. Not everyone would immediately recognize what an "armoir" is. I bet we could think of other "species" of furniture, well known in Victorian times (or earlier) for which the names have changed.

When Bill Yule recently inquired about the two scientific names (Polites coras vs. Polites peckius) for Peck's Skipper (also called Yellow-Patch Skipper by some) , there was a thundering silence from the scientific community for over a week. Finally, the question was answered in a roundabout way that concluded, in effect, that there was disagreement as to who named the bug the first, and there were still disagreements about which was the proper name. Doesn't sound all that much like "the only correct name" to me. I have learned the scientific names for many of the common butterflies in my area - it isn't very hard. However, it usually comes in handy only when I read older butterfly literature or happen to be talking to an entomologist who, at the moment, can't remember a butterfly's common name. It helps to smooth out the flow of information - period. Let's not turn it into an "us against them" mentality.

I discovered in a narrow dried out flood channel next to my apratment complex a thriving colony of the species Colotis daira (The Black Marked Orange Tip). I have not found any mention of this species in my books on the lepidoptera of europe except that it is mentioned in the book 'Field guide to the Butterflies and Burnets of Spain' Manley & Allcard. They describe it being an infrequent visitor that may become established. I can tell you that this colony was quite large numbering several dozen adults (Shhhh! Don't tell 'Guardia civil' but I did take a small series of token specimens). There was also several examples of Gegenes nostradamus (Mediterranean Skipper) buzzing about there as well. Does anyone in the group know whether this species has indeed established itself in S. Spain or was it just an example of a large migration?

Never mind that several Hairstreaks use Oaks as the foodplant. Or that all > > Limentits arthemis are now to be referred to as "Red Spotted Admirals"? ================================================= I agree entirely that OAK HAIRSTREAK is a poor compromise because other species of hairstreaks like Oaks. Of all the species on the New Jersey list, this is the one whose nomenclature we dealt with most extensively in BUTTERFLIES OF NEW JERSEY. To make a long story short, when Satyrium ontario (usually published as Fixsenia Ontario) and known as Northern Hairstreak was lumped with Satyrium favonius (Southern Hairstreak), the scientific name favonius had priority (Smith 1797 vs Edwards 1868). Unfortunately, the name Southern Hairstreak was chosen for the species as a whole (even though priority doesn't affect vernacular names (as Ron and Alex point out, there's no international convention). It was particularly annoying for New Jersey where the race ontario occurs, and where Southern Hairstreak was doubly inappropriate. But, as we pointed out the combined species is NEITHER particularly Northern nor particularly Southern in its distribution as Satyriums go. We compromised and our species entry calls it the "Southern or Northern Hairstreak"---an act of rebellion since we had earlier claimed that our common names followed the NABA checklist. We concluded our writeup as follows: "Opler and Krizek (1984) state that favonius is named after the "western spring wind [Latin]" certainly a neutral name for this species. An alternative name would be the Scarce Hairstreak since it is generally rare throughout its range." I'm not sure now, just how scarce this butterfly is. It does seem to be sporadic, showing up in fair numbers in one place, one year and then not found at all the next. But I don't know whether this applies to the "southern" Hairstreak. So maybe Scarce Hairstreak isn't appropriate for this species, and probably other Hairstreaks are Scarce as well. Other alternatives would be "Spring Wind Hairstreak" "Favonius Hairstreak". etc. My understanding is that the NABA Committee avoided coining new names as much as possible. Moreover, it did try to formulate some naming conventions for common names, and these were articulated in its publication. Just to get in a dig, however, I think that this species is a poor example if one believes in the stability of scientific names. ================================================ Michael Gochfeld, MD, PhD Professor of Environmental and Community Medicine UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute 170 Frelinghuysen Road Piscataway, NJ 08854 USA 732-445-0123 X627 fax 732-445-0130 ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From drdn at mail.utexas.edu Tue Jul 10 12:36:28 2001 From: drdn at mail.utexas.edu (Chris J.

It is as simple as that. What is neither correct nor incorrect is the opinion of conspecificity. As a rather ordinary scientific "fact" this is only the opinion of experts based on expert evaluation of the evidence at hand today. Tomorrow a new study of the DNA in different populations may suggest to experts that there are three species in this complex! A name is correct only at the moment that an expert renders an opinion. Experts can revise their opinions. Several experts may come to different opinions. Experts can be obliged to change their opinions by presentation of new evidence. They are not obliged to change their opinions by usage, precedent or fiat. ...................Chris Durden At 08:52 AM 7/10/2001 -0400, you wrote: >All - > > Ron's missive about scientific names vs. common names is a very logical >presentation of the theories being the naming systems, but there are still >some gaping holes in the defense.

Just click on the Issue number and it will open in Adobe. According to his research on names and type localities rhodope would not be in Oregon Coast Range. Rhodope and sakuntala are the same thing with sakuntala being a junior synonym of rhodope. Actually, now that I think about it, you should be able to locate the entire paper at Oregon State entomological library as all issues of The Taxonomic Report are sent to them.

Actually, I was going to answer that immediately but decided not to as I undoubtedly post too much as it is. I left this to others. Chris Durden gave a good generalized answer today. To answer the question, one has to be familiar with all the taxonomic papers dirrectly on the subject of coras vs. peckius. It is unfortunate that those who write the "guides" are nearly always just quoting someone eles's opinion which in turn was based on some other's opinion. In many ways I do not fault them for this. Taxonomy is work and to up to speed on everything is tough. Now, the phrase "correct name" as I used it to = scientific epithets, does not apply here. Coras vs. peckius is a technical question about which of these two taxonomically "available names" is the "valid name" for this skipper. This is a question of "nomenclatural correctness" - which is very different than scientific IDs (as a category) being correct in opposition to common names (as a catagory). The changes we see in common names are a matter of personal whims. The changes that are observed within correct names are dictated by 1) the rules (Principles of Priority) of the ICZN as 2) applied to, and in conjunction with, the best available science at the current time relative to organic evolutionary hierarchical relationships. Here I have a bone to pick with the "professionals" who seem to think they are "free" to choose what ever scientific ID they want. See the ICZN glossary under names and then under "valid". A taxon only has one valid (nomenclaturally correct name). Now, there are at times valid arguments among "experts" about which available names should be employed - especially at the level of genus. But specific and subspecific names should be fairly hard and fast once "pinned" down. This is email and I see my frustration already at the communicative limitations I am under. So I will quit here - for now.

For the few who need to refer to organisms in a systematic manner, please let us use the scientific nomenclature system, with all its shortcomings, as the primary means of communicating what we're talking about. If you want to learn the scientific names of species, then please make the effort to understand that it's flawed, but that there are rules (see IZNC). That butterflies have vernacular names merely illustrates that they are creatures that are looked at by people in general, something which should be regarded as a blessing. cheers for the line-time, Roger. --- Richard Worth wrote: > Looks a lot like Orgyia antiqua, the Rusty Tussock Moth, here in the > US which I thought was an introduced sp. from Europe.

While you guys all argue about "correct/scientific/common names," I'm going to interrupt with a thread of my own for all the bored-silly and silent gals out there who are hungry for more titillating conversation: Butterfly ***SEX*** (Okay, you guys can listen in if you are so inclined...) Yesterday, I was certain that the public outdoor butterfly exhibit that I monitor had sunk to the lowest depths of depravity...until today. Chalk it off to a combination of overpopulation in a confined, contrived environment coupled with an insufferable humidity index...aberrant butterfly behavior is running wild in the pastoral confines of my ethereal butterfly "garden!" For some time, I've noticed that the male Zebra Longwings (and THEY know who they ARE, "correctly" speaking), have been routinely patrolling the hanging chrysalides of their sibling species in search of "near-eclosing" females...an opportunistic strategy employed by them, to mate with newly emerged "virgins" even before they've had the chance to spread their wings and fly (!) An especially "hot" female will often have two or three randy males gripping her chrysalis in anticipation of emerging nirvana... Only one "gets lucky." I come into work at 7:00 a.m. and find the persistent, besotted males hooked up to their "intended" in connubial bliss, though I've never seen the actual "attack." By the time I get there, the females' wings are completely inflated and dried, and a captive partner. Two days ago, things got bad...there was a dearth of female Longwings, so the frustrated and frenzied males were patrolling and confiscating near-eclosing Queen butterflies (!) They staked out their "brides" and gripped their chyrsalides for all they were worth... I didn't know what to expect when I came in the next morning. What I found the next morning were a lot of newly eclosed Queens and one "successful?" Zebra Longwing who had managed to grasp the abdomen (albeit, in the "wrong place..") of a newly emerged Queen male, who was desperately trying to extricate himself AND pump up his underinflated wings at the same time. The Zebra Longwing was oblivious to its "missing the mark," much less to having hooked up with the wrong species (!) I tried to intervene for the sake of the male Queen, but the tenacity of the Zebra L. was more than a match for me. I gave up and left them to their deluded depravity. If that wasn't bad enough, today I walked into the garden and found THREE male Zebras hooked up to ONE newly emerged female Zebra...talk about "group sex." And to top things off, I also discovered a male Zebra "necrophiliac" that had broken through the chrysalis of an unemerged female, and was "going to town" with her corpse... Are there "support groups" for individuals in my current line of work?! Someone suggested I needed to start one.... Instead, I'm reading a book about the racehorse, Seabiscuit, which takes my mind temporarily off the "winged beasts" (i.e. no sexual content). I shudder to think: What next?! Perhaps a black shroud over the tent with a sign stating: Absolutely NO ONE under 17 admitted without a parent or guardian! M.B.

It doesn't strike me as unexpected. When typical behaviors are thwarted they may be redirected to an inappropriate object. That's probably pretty classical Lorenz/Tinbergen stuff. But, I don't know that anyone has actually documented its form as you have. It's interesting to know how long the males persist and whether they break off spontaneously. What would happen if a correct female chrysalis was suddenly planted near one of the inappropriate couplings. Would the male be able to break off the relationship. If this persists you could actually do some experiments, but I suppose you can't tell in advance which chrysalid is going to be the female vs themale. I suppose you could simply remove all chyrsalids and induce the abnormal behavior and then replace several at a time (assuming that thesex ratio is more or less equal). Have fun.

After taking a few Excedrin, it all makes sense, Seriously, though, an amateur like me has no possible way of knowing these facts, or even WHERE to look to find them. I'm not a serious entomologist and never will be, but I'm a pretty good field observer that relies on material published for the masses for "correct" information (including both common and scientific names). I realize that the whole "Names" thread started out as a venting-of-frustration exercise (albeit a very public one), but for me there were some interesting nuggets of information to be sifted out of the rhetoric (it took a LOT of sifting). That's why I subscribe to this list - to hear about what butterflies others are seeing across the country (a too-small percentage of the total messages), and to learn new stuff from people that know more about the subject than I do. The grandstanding, snobbery, and intolerance that seem to dominate the postings oftentimes make reading them quite tedious and frustrating. Let's hear more field reports, and less arguing.

The notion that field biologists have to identify something to species, is not a divine requirement. It may be unique to butterfly and bird watche3rs. Most entomologists and many botanists, I've been afield with, are content to get something to family (i.e. beetles) or genus (i.e. grasses), and recognize that somethings (i.e. Crateagus) don't behave properly at all. In the next message, I'll post the results of the Vischer Ferry (Albany, NY) 4JC, in which lamentably, a new 'species' was added, but not identifiable. In the grand scheme of things it will matter most to those who try to have spreadsheets that total neatly across rows and down columns (? dont get summed, although they do get counted). To read a really great account of this try C. Brooke Worth's chapter in A NATURALIST IN TRINIDAD, where he describes the compulsive behavior of his good friend Tommy Aitken who was responsible for mosquito sampling for ARBO viruses. Each day the field techs would bring in dozens of samples containing dozens of individuals, and the lab techs would have to identify them and talley them. When they were all identified, there would be a sort-of-spread sheet (a-la-1960s). Brooke described how if there were one miscount (something didn't add up to the field totals), Tommy would order the techs to take out all the individuals and re-identify them, just so the books would add up right. Brooke proudly said that he would have been comfortable to just guess what the missing bug probably was (surveyors call this error of closure). Anyway, we only have to identify bugs to species because we want to, not because we have to or because the bugs really believe in it. That goes for Peck's Skipper (which by the way should be out in numbers here now, but isn't). The sun is out, maybe there will be some butterflies in the yard besides Pieris rapae and Erynnis baptisae.

There are only two parties, and the coverage is mainly in the River flood plain, including the Vischer Ferry Preserve. One party also spends a half day in the Albany Pine Bush (Karner, NY). This is the tenth year for the count. Coverage has been virtually the same each year. The main modification has been the disappearance of some favored fields and the addition of some new ones. The weather was fair and mostly sunny in the morning and early afternoon, clouding up gradually by 3 pm and threatening thunderstorms by 5:30 pm. The number of individuals is shown in the third column and the status compared to the nine previous counts is given in the 4th column. Although Black Swallowtails are often common, we only found one in the last afternoon. Likewise, Tiger Swallowtails were absent, but we miss them more often than find them at this season. All specimens obtained at other times of the season have been of Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, but someday we'll find a Canadian. Bronze Copper appears to be a declining species in eastern New York, but it persists in the Mohawk River floodplain. We don't always get it because of phenology, and this individual was fresh (my category =w1). ALMOST ALL hairstreaks were found in the Albany Pine Bush. Only the single Acadian Hairstreak was found at a different location. Banded Hairstreaks were more numerous than in previous years and Edwards were much less common than usual. Moreover, virtually all of the Banded Hairstreaks were worn to very worn and almost all the Edwards were extremely fresh. I categorize these as w3-w5 for the Banded and w0-w1 for the Edwards. Karner Blue's (Melissa Blue) has had a relatively good year, due to the extensive snow cover this past winter. We found over 60 in a 15 min search around the edge of an extensive lupine bed. Virtually all were males. Eastern Tailed Blue: Clovers of several species are super-abundant, but we never find many Tailed Blues. Wonder why. It doesn't seem to be solely phenology. The clover is there all season, but the blues aren't. Summer Azure (C. neglecta), treated here as a distinct species, was particularly numerous in the Pine Bush, and many were moderately worn. They were also common and quite worn there a month earlier, so this is seems to be a second brood. Another puzzle to work out. Seems too soon to have a second brood, so it might also be a prolonged flight period. Baltimore Checkerspots: Real Estate agents must track this species. Virtually every Baltimore colony that we have found has been wiped out by housing development. Last year we found a thriving new colony, and it was still there this year, albeit not at full strength (10 individuals vs 50 last year). American Lady: 12 individuals was a high count for this species which we sometimes miss on the count. Red Admiral: Not surprisingly this was a high count. Admirals were present throughout the day. About 2/3 were simply moving through, heading more or less northward. Others were nectaring. None seen mating. Browns: I don't find identifying the Browns in the field at all easy. Some disappear. Some don't afford a good angle, and this year several were worn. Sometimes the field marks don't jibe with the book. Using the field marks in Glassberg's book, I am confident that all identified were S.appalachia. Others might have been either species, including one in a woodland where S.eurydice has been found before. Almost all of the Little Wood Satyrs were in the Pine Bush. Surprisingly virtually none were found in the other habitats visited. Erynnis spp. One Mottled Duskywing was seen, compared to at least four seen a month earlier. The host plant, New Jersey Tea (Ceanothus), is very common in the Pine Bush. A second Duskywing that was extremely worn, was either a Juvenal's or Horace's. Normally Juvenal's isn't even around in early June, but this individual was so worn that it could have been a surviving and late E. juvenalis. Either species would be new for that count. There were 40 species (second highest) and 958 individuals (4th highest). However, since three species: Cabbage, Edwards Hairstreak, and European Skipper, often account for more than 75% of the individuals, we compare counts with and without those three species. Without them the individual count in 2001 was 574, the highest in this category.

Sometimes the utmost clarity (given that the taxonomists may be having a war over some names -- consider the new Jepson manual plant names in California) is obtained by giving scientific and common names together with locality and distinguishing features. As might often be said on this list, there is no need to burn anyone at the stake for the use of scientific or common names. But if you want to communicate, the more clarity, the better.

Sometimes it's tedious,but most of the time not. In many places Common Milkweed (A. syriaca) is a wonderful attractant for butterflies, and once at Ward Pound Ridge (Westchester County, NY), Guy Tudor and I observed six skippers of five species, on a single Milkweed head. Dogbanes are likewise very attractive in some areas. Dogbane is abundant in the Mohawk floodplain and was beginning to flower. I have checked it hopefully year after year and found virtually nothing on it. This year there was one Red Admiral on Dogbane. On the first Lakehurst NJ, Count we had dozens of Hairstreaks nectaring on Milkweed, a phenomenon not repeated in subsequent years. On the Vischer Ferry Count last week, Common Milkweed was blooming profusely, and there were many Honeybees and some Bumblebees on them, but virtually NO butterflies AT ALL. Various clovers, paricularly Red Clover is another popular nectar source The single Bronze Copper was on White Clover (let me know if I need to provide the scientific name). Eastern Tailed Blues were on Red and Alsike Clovers. Most Red Admirals were just flying through, but 53 were nectaring including 1 on a Thirslte,8 on Red Clover and one on Dogbane (aforementioned). However, 43 were on Canada Thistle (Cirsium arvense). Actually when I tallied the counts that I made, 65% of bees counted (there were more, of course) were on Canada Thistle and 64% of butterfly records were on Canada Thistle. Interestingly virtually none of the skippers were on Canada Thistle, although I have often seen skippers and Cabbages on this species. Moreover, the next day in another yard, there were three species of Skippers on Canada Thistle, and Ladies and Great Spangled Fritillaries clearly preferred it to the Buddleia. Obviously I looked for patches of Canada Thistle to find the butterflies, so from a statistical view I over-sampled that source. But I also carefully checked EVERY one of the hundreds of milkweed plants and carefully checked MANY of the thousands of Dogbanes, and and covered many areas with clovers. This is not a novel observation for me. I have often found that Canada Thistle is preferred during the few weeks that it is in bloom. Now for the problem. As most of you know Canada Thistle is classified as a noxious weed. Here is a sampling from the web: ================== Canada thistle is declared a "noxious weed" throughout the U.S. and has long been recognized as a major agricultural pest, costing tens of millions of dollars in direct crop losses annually and additional millions costs for control. Only recently have the harmful impacts of Canada thistle to native species and natural ecosystems received notable attention. HABITAT IN THE UNITED STATES: Canada thistle grows in barrens, glades, meadows, prairies, fields, pastures, and waste places. It does best in disturbed upland areas but also invades wet areas with fluctuating water levels such as streambank sedge meadows and wet prairies. BACKGROUND: Canada thistle was introduced to the United States, probably by accident, in the early 1600s and, by 1954, had been declared a noxious weed in forty three states. In Canada and the U.S., it is considered one of the most tenacious and economically important agricultural weeds, but only in recent years has it been recognized as a problem in natural areas. ========================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From gochfeld at eohsi.rutgers.edu Wed Jul 11 14:38:41 2001 From: gochfeld at eohsi.rutgers.edu (Michael Gochfeld) Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2001 14:38:41 -0400 Subject: An afterthought on Canada Thistle In-Reply-To: "Clay Taylor" "Re: correct + coras/peckius" (Jul 11, 11:58am) References: <003401c108fb$339faac0$9b0f1218@gscrk1.sc.home.com> <001501c1093f$387584e0$10e3fea9@s0022921733> <008801c10980$e28adde0$9b0f1218@gscrk1.sc.home.com> <000b01c10a22$5ee64680$10e3fea9@s0022921733> Message-ID: <1010711143845.ZM6486@Gochfeld> I don't want to be declared a Thistle-lover.

Also, I am involved in a campaign to control invasive exotics (or at least recognize their hazards and halt their horticultural sale). However, in my experience over the past 15 years, Canada Thistle both in Somerset, NJ and in the Vischer Ferry area, DOES NOT BEHAVE like an invasive weed. It's stands are small and transient. They expand quickly and then contract. Sometimes they disappear completely. Of course since neither of these areas has NATURAL GRASSLANDS, it may not matter what Canada Thistle does. But it is an impressive nectar source and I lament the fact that the small stand in our yard is down to one flower.

My view is that it did not use to be this way as little as 15 years ago. The Klots/Peterson Field Guide is still very useful - not just a classic. The people who wrote (and still write some of) the books on butterflies were great taxonomists, students of evolution, biogeography etc. There were MANY mentors around then too who did not live in academic ivory towers and were always available - Paul Grey, C.F. dos Passos, Harry Clench, J.F.G. Clarke, F. Thorne all now passed on and some like Mather (near blind) and Ferris (very retired) who are still with us. Lee Miller at the AME in Sarasota. The great knowledge has not only died off, but it was down right ignored and what was left has been rejected in recent years. Now we are reinventing the wheel so to speak. And my opinion is that is just what some wanted. Bring is a whole New World Order re butterflies - new methods, new philosophy, new terms, new names/taxonomy, everything. It has succeeded. I and some of the other older ones who are still around see this as a dumbed down version of what once was - we have lived under both economies. When I was 10 and got my first books by Holland, Comstock, etc. There was immediate education. Immediate science. At 17 we understood the systems (took time out for courting) and at 25 were writing scientific papers. I described Satyroides appalachia leeuwi in 1974. My coauthor (junior author) had a PhD in entomology and worked for the USDA (still does) and I just a High School diploma. But in butterflies, because of the depth of information readily available to the rank and file then and the experts as mentors, we were on the same level. Actually, as a taxonomist, I was on the more knowledgable level. > I realize that the whole "Names" thread started out as a > venting-of-frustration exercise (albeit a very public one), but for me there > were some interesting nuggets of information to be sifted out of the > rhetoric (it took a LOT of sifting). > Yes, there is frustration and venting. And it is public as I feel the masses have been duped into thinking that "this" is all there is. My opinion is that they are being short changed all around - skeletal books that could have been written by "anyone" 20 years ago experts who are not yet such but are moving there etc. (There is no substitute for time in service.) > That's why I subscribe to this list - to hear about what butterflies > others are seeing across the country (a too-small percentage of the total > messages), and to learn new stuff from people that know more about the > subject than I do.

Let's hear more field reports, and less arguing. > Me too. I have been surprised since joining less than a year ago at the scarcity of field reports (like Marks) - or great accounts (like Mary Beth's recent observations). The tug of wars here are revealing though - they manifest a divide. A divide that 20 years ago was non existent. So who changed? What happened? Twenty years ago there was absolutely no grandstanding (whose who now), snobbery (toward lepidopterists), intolerance ( of collectors) and I will add - no competition (factional organizational meetings scheduled against each other). What happened? We had all been going to school together up through the years and grades - all was well. Then this new kid moved into the neighborhood and came to our school, Leps High. He is lots bigger than us and he is a bully, his name is... ________________ It is not as important what name you or I would put there -- it is the fact that a name would come immediately to anyone's mind and be put there. The Leps world will never be what is once WAS till that type of thought pattern is gone.

It's hard to fly from San Diego to Chicago without arriving after the sun goes down, but I managed to arrive and flee the airport in my rental car by 5:00 p.m. - with still a couple of hours of sunshine to look forward to. I had a long drive ahead of me - enroute to Peoria - but I couldn't resist stopping to see what might still be flying at this late hour. The temperature was high - close to 90, with over 90% humidity, so the bushwhacking was a bit tedious - the biting bugs and shredding brambles making this even worse. At first, the bugs were few and far between. The only hairstreak flying was Satyrium edwarsii (nevertheless, a treat). An occasional Pieris rapae, a worn Speyeria cybele, Vanessa atalanta and Polygonia interrogationis - that was about it. But as the sun began to set lower on the horizon, an amazing thing occurred. The Satyr's came out to dance! July 10 - Willow Springs, Cook County By 7:00 p.m., the numbers of Satyr's prancing about the grasses and dark shadows of the forest canopy were incredible. The most common was Megisto cymela (Little Wood Satyr), with several individuals flopping along in every square meter. These would occasionally bump into the less common, but still numerous Cercyonis pegala (Common Wood Nymph). The C. pegala could also be readily spooked out of the tall grasses that thrived in the open areas just outside the forest edge. I am certain that it is these bugs, and not dyslexia, that should be credited for the coining of "flutterby". Also common were the Enodia anthedon (Northern Pearly Eye) - which fancied darting all around the woods in between short periods of rest on tree trunks. The whole episode reminded me of something out of Fantasia - "Early Evening Dance of the Wood Satyrs". Of course, this title better conjures images of cutie little tinkerbells prancing and spewing their goofy dust (hey, I'm on business travel - I can't control these things). It's this sort of experience that makes my life as rich as it is - well, experiences like this PLUS my wife and children. As the sun made it's last hoorah, the leps were still on the wing - apparently content to wait it out for their chummy and busy-body cousins, the fireflies. It's been awhile since I enjoyed the company of fireflies. An amazing piece of creation, IMHO. A delight for young and old. A delight for the idiot wandering in the woods after dark. It was these that pulled me out of my inner forest trance and guided me safely back to the rental car. My list: Papilio polyxenes (Black Swallowtail) Peiris rapae (Cabbage White) Satyrium edwardsii (Edward's Hairstreak) Speyeria cybele (Great Spangled Fritillary) Chlosyne necteis (Silvery Checkerspot) Phyciodes tharos (Pearl Crescentspot) Polygonia interrogationis (Question Mark) Vanessa cardui (Painted Lady) Vanessa atalanta (Red Admiral) Enodia anthedon (Northern Pearly Eye) Megisto cymela (Little Wood Satyr) Cercyonis pegala (Common Wood Nymph) Danaus plexippus (Monarch) Anatrytone logan (Delaware Skipper) Mark Walker visiting a large caterpillar in Peoria, IL ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From herschel.raney at conwaycorp.net Thu Jul 12 09:18:21 2001 From: herschel.raney at conwaycorp.net (herschel.raney at conwaycorp.net) Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 08:18:21 -0500 Subject: Problema Message-ID: <3B4D5D4D.1223.CB614C3@localhost> Perfect genus name. All the skipper genera should have been so profound. Ahem. Here is the question. I am a new Leper (this is what my Odonate watching friends refer to it as). And that is a long story. But I have been running up a species list for a local Wildlife Management Area that is in North Central Arkansas at less than 500 feet. Basically it includes the woodlands and slight rolling hills surrounding a large Cypress Swamp. I have discovered a large local group of Speyeria diana that is a pure pleasure (and what, pray tell, are they doing in a Cypress Swamp?). But also in a small cut clearing along a trail there I have discovered a cluster of Problema byssus (Byssus Skipper). Lovely little gals as Skippers go. And I have seen nothing but females according to the various guides. But what they do is in the late afternoon all the Problema ladies perch up in this clearing upon small Hickory saplings less than 3 feet tall and fold those wings open. They all align themselves with their backs directed toward the dropping sun. There are four or five saplings and usually four or five Skippers all facing the same direction. They look like orange and black fighter jets awaiting instructions. Once in position they become invader detectors and if a grasshopper or a Widow Skimmer or a Common Whitetail dragonfly has the unadulterated boldness to fly into the Skipper sunning area then first one and then all of the Skippers give chase up to the edge of the clearing and then swirl around madly after each other and then take up their ready positions for the next run. These things have made me fold over laughing with this craziness. And again, they appear to be all females. What in the hell is up with these Problemas?

If so, then no problema. If they are indeed females, then the behavior is indeed perplexing. John Well, I had decided that these must be male Problemas by behavior. And then this would mean that Glassberg's photos for the Byssus were, well, misleading. But looking again just to make absolutely sure, I have now discovered that the photos in Glassberg for the Florida form of the Byssus are very different from the shots for the western form. The difficulty was, I suppose, that I am in Arkansas and had presumed that though my county is completely out of Glassberg's range for any of the byssus forms we would more likely have the western form and not the Atlantic coast form in our little satellite. Since the photos I took look exactly like the males of the Florida form and their behavior is male-ish I am concluding that in the middle of Arkansas, near a Cypress Swamp we have been blessed with a subpopulation of the Eastern form of Problema byssus. And thus they are all males. Meaning that I have seen all males except for one and when I saw her, I didn't know what she was. I now see she is an Eastern form byssus female. (Would be happy to send you a shot, Mister Shuey, of a male for your helpful comments.)

But let me ask a couple questions. Are they light colored on the underside or are they a dark rust color with a faint band? P. byssus byssus males are very light beneath and the females very dark. Do you have a picture you could post? I am not real familiar with the Arkansas, but am familiar with all the skippers in North America. If you do not know Dr. Mack Shotts in Paragould I suggest you look him up as he is a long time Arkansas lepidopterist and would be a local "expert". I don't have much in the way of the new "guides". Which are you consulting? In the Audubon guide the female ventral photo is correct. The pseudo dorsal shot is 99% a misidentification. Female byssus do not have anywhere near that much fulvous on the apex of their forewings and do not have fulvous along the FW costal margin - not even in subspecies kumskaka. That photo looks 210% like a female Atrytone logan (Delaware Skipper). For your area of the US I would have the following books. First and foremost would be the old Klots/Peterson Field Guide. This book is still head, shoulders and waist above the new "guides". Next would be The Butterflies and Moths of Missouri by Heitzman, Missouri Dept of Conservation, Jefferson City, MO. After those The Butterflies of Georgia by Harris, U. of Oklahoma press. If you had these you would rarely open the new ones.

There are two extremely evolutionally distinct and of equal rank subspecies - byssus byssus and byssus kumskaka. There is absolutely nothing sub (less) about subspecies. The only reason it is called byssus skipper (Bunchgrass Skipper) is because humans discovered this first and not the prairie segregate - otherwise we would be calling it the kumskaka skipper or (Prairie Golden Skipper) The biogeographical area you are in is part of the "eastern" fauna. The Cypress, diana, byssus etc. are all indicators of your eastern fauna. The key lies in the geological history of the Ozark Plateau and surrounding region. You sound like a serious "student" of nature. Thus, I return to my previous suggestion that you get some books written by "lepidopterists" who also have a more in depth approach. > would more likely have the western form and not the Atlantic coast > form in our little satellite.

My grandfather, Frederick Frieseke, the painter, did a little memoir of his childhood in Florida, lavishly illustrated. And my brother edited it lately for publication, and wisely gave it to me for proofreading. It fell to my lot to inform Nick, which he had not known, that in Florida (1890) a gopher is a tortoise. A salamander, on the other hand, is a gopher. If you follow me ... I am happy that this list has decided to use both scientific and vernacular names; the former for clarity, the second for accessibility to the handicapped, who are afraid of hard things and long words. Ah, the first butterfly for a week fluttered by ... Banog uaine .. a green-veined white, Pieris napi. See how easy that was? But, if I had stopped with the first name, in Irish, how frustrated most of you would have been. As for "correct names" ... Ron has it easy. I was christened Anna Maria; Catholics did it in Latin. My husband thinks my name is Mrs John Hillis. The bank likes Anne Hillis, and you all know me as Anne Kilmer, my maiden and professional name. It ain't hard to use both names and, with the mutability of scientific names, at the mercy of lumpers and splitters, it's as well to do so. I have my grandmother's butterfly book, from New Jersey, and once, looking up a bug, I couldn't help noticing that I recognized neither common nor scientific names for a lot of the critters.

I MAY have been the first one to use that term, at least on the internet. At the behest of several friends, more than a few years back, I started the original Leps mail list. One of my first posts began "Dear Lepers", influenced by the fact that I had been used to using the expression "birders" (which, Leroy, probably is in the dictionary by now). I immediately got a reply from, I believe, Fred Heath - who pointed out the connection to leperosy and said I should add use "leppers" instead. -- Hank & Priscilla Brodkin Carr Canyon, Cochise County, AZ Send Mailto:hankb at theriver.com SouthEast Arizona Butterfly Association http://www.naba.org/chapters/nabasa/home.html "Butterflies of Arizona - a Photographic Guide" by Bob Stewart, Priscilla and Hank Brodkin - due September 2001 http://www.naba.org/chapters/nabasa/book.html ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From CTaylor at swarovskioptik.com Thu Jul 12 14:47:42 2001 From: CTaylor at swarovskioptik.com (Clay Taylor) Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 14:47:42 -0400 Subject: A Leper? armed and dangerous References: <004b01c10af8$460849c0$7c245b0c@s0022921733> <002e01c10afc$cb8df8c0$9b0f1218@gscrk1.sc.home.com> Message-ID: <007b01c10b03$229545a0$7c245b0c@s0022921733> Ron - Actually, the early ornithologists got it right - the "cane gun". Most of the time it was a sturdy, functional walking stick, but you never knew when a new bird species would show up in a backyard or while taking a brisk walk around the block. "Egad - what IS that little bird? I have never seen one like it before!" At that point the "walking stick" spouted fire and lead shot, and another museum specimen hit the ground. Now they are treasured by gun collectors, not bird collectors.

These were definitely not collectors of perfect specimens. They wanted something to describe from a place to which they would never expect to return. Conversely, C. H. Muller, THE Expert on American oaks once collected in a butterfly net, the type specimen of a hummingbird later described by Oberholtzer as *Phasmornis mystica* - Chisos Hummingbird, which is either a very rare or recently extinct endemic genus and species or is a remarkable gnome-like variant of the Black Chinned Hummingbird. I cannot check the type and only specimen because our small but priceless Univ. of Texas bird collection was recently traded to Texas Tech Univ. in exchange for herps because we had no funds to hire a curator for birds and mammals! Back to lepidopterans - I carry in my field bag, several bankers rubber bands. I have used these for securing stunned butterfly voucher specimens from high in trees, most notably for *Basilarchia obsoleta* near the top of willows in Arizona and *Panacea* spp. in Amazon woodland. Back home I use them to stun that venerable 72 million-year-old species *Periplaneta fuliginosa* for food, for my Veiled Chameleon aka Broccoli Bob. "Lepidopterist" is in my 1966 Unabridged Random House Dictionary (the last really good one). Leper is someone with Hansens Disease. Birder is one who hunts or raises birds. Bugger and Lepper are best ignored in our context as inappropriate terms. ............Chris Durden At 02:47 PM 7/12/2001 -0400, you wrote: >Ron - > > Actually, the early ornithologists got it right - the "cane gun". > > Most of the time it was a sturdy, functional walking stick, but you >never knew when a new bird species would show up in a backyard or while >taking a brisk walk around the block.

While hiking in Sand Ridge National Forest today I stumbled upon a nice population of Speyeria idalia. Does it get any better than this? A mass emergence of immaculate females - looking for any male that was up to the task. All the males were old, tired, and ragged. I ran across one particularly gorgeous female idalia nectaring on milkweed with her fat hiney (spelling? ) sticking out for all to see. The only problem was that the only male in sight was a Speyeria cybele (Great Spangled Fritillary). You thought that these Spangled Frits were large - they are dwarfed when approached by the large female idalia. This poor little guy didn't want to play, but lady Idalia wouldn't take no for an answer. Hey - he'll do. As I walked through the grasses, I would spook one after another out from the deepest depths of the grass. Up they float, awkwardly at first - and then off to find another resting place. If I never see another butterfly, I will remain fulfilled. I wasn't expecting the Regal. I was hoping to see some hairstreaks - but apparently I'm too late for these. The only hairstreaks out today were Satyrium titus and a single ragged specimen of Satyrium calanus. All the Coral Hairstreaks were pretty beat up as well. It looks as though they must have peaked a few weeks ago here. Lots and lots of Cabbage Whites out here. I don't think I've seen them so common anywhere. Plenty of Eurema lisa, too. Swallowtails were common - including a single Papilio cresphontes (Giant Swallowtail) nectaring on milkweed. Not much else to report - except that it's amazing how much habitat is consumed by crops. If we all love leps so much, we should probably stop eating. my list: Papilio glaucus (Tiger Swallowtail) Papilio troilus (Spicebush Swallowtail) Papilio cresphontes (Giant Swallowtail) Papilio polyxenes (Black Swallowtail) Battus philenor (Pipevine Swallowtail) Pontius protodice (Checkered White) (a single speciment amongst the horde) Pieris rapae (Cabbage White) Colias philodice (Clouded Sulphur) Colias eurytheme (Orange Sulphur) Eurema lisa (Little Sulphur) Lycaena phlaeas (American Copper) (no other coppers };>( Satyrium titus (Coral Hairstreak) Satyrium calanus (Banded Hairstreak) Celastrina neglecta (Summer Azure) Everes comyntas (Eastern Tailed Blue) Euptoieta claudia (Variegated Fritillary) Speyeria cybele (Great Spangled Fritillary) Speyeria idalia (Regal Fritillary) Phyciodes tharos (Pearl Crescentspot) Polygonia interragationis (Question Mark) Polygonia comma (Comma) Nymphalis antiopa (Mourning Cloak) Vanessa virginiensis (American Lady) Vanessa cardui (Painted Lady) Vanessa atalanta (Red Admiral) (still signs of mass emergence) Junonia coenia (Buckeye) Limenitis arthemis (Red Spotted Purple) Limenitis archippus (Viceroy) Megisto cymela (Little Wood Satyr) Cercyonis pegala (Common Wood Nymph) Danaus plexippus (Monarch) (doing very well here) Epargyreus clarus (Silver Spotted Skipper) (common at milkweed) Ancyloxypha numitor (Least Skipper) Polites peckius (Peck's Skipper) Mark Walker back in Chicago ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From monarch at saber.net Fri Jul 13 02:39:25 2001 From: monarch at saber.net (Paul Cherubini) Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2001 23:39:25 -0700 Subject: Crops found to make great monarch butterfly breeding habitat References: <6AA1CFDDE237D51190160000F805064D279D8F@hqmail.gensym.com> Message-ID: <3B4E979D.3EE1@saber.net> Mark Walker in Mason County, IL 7/12/01 wrote: > it's amazing how much habitat is consumed by crops. > If we all love leps so much, we should probably stop > eating. > my [species] list: Danaus plexippus (Monarch) (doing very well here) Mark, there is a good reason why monarchs are so abundant in areas of the upper Midwest USA dominated by row crops - corn and soybeans actually make outstanding monarch butterfly breeding habitat! Yes, this was the stunning new finding reported by Dr. John Pleasants of the University of Iowa, Ames, at the Monarch Research Conference in Kansas in May 20-23, 2001. Dr. Pleasants and his colleagues estimate that 71% of the monarch breeding population in Iowa is produced on milkweed plants growing as weeds INSIDE the corn and soybean crops. In Minnesota that figure is 94%! Roadsides and other non-crop areas produce only 29% of the monarchs in Iowa and only 5% of those in Minnesota. How can this be? Well Dr. Pleasants found: - female monarchs "prefer" to lay their eggs on milkweeds growing INSIDE the crop canopy rather than on milkweeds growing along roadsides or in other more natural, non-crop areas. - Roundup herbicide treatments don't kill the milkweeds (growing within the corn and soybean crops) but just burn back the top growth which, in turn, stimulates the growth of tender new milkweed shoots (from the living underground rhizomes). It is these tender new shoots which are favored as oviposition sites by female monarch butterflies. - fewer monarch parasites and predators may exist INSIDE the crop canopy as compared to more open, adjacent natural areas. - the milkweeds growing inside the crops are more healthy and nutritious for monarch caterpillars due to the chemical fertilizer use. So we can now rejoice that extremely intense agriculture and its associated heavy pesticide and chemical fertilizer use is actually good breeding habitat for the supposidly "endangered" monarch butterfly. Iornically, the monarch conservation establishment has been preaching just the opposite -that agricultural expansion threatens the monarch. For example this website http://MonarchWatch.org/conserve/index.htm says: "Monarchs and their amazing annual migration are seriously threatened by human activities, in both their summer and overwintering sites. Many of these threatening activities hinge on the destruction of good Monarch habitats. New roads, housing developments, and agricultural expansion - all transform a natural landscape in ways that make it impossible for Monarchs to live there."

As humans we all do a very interesting thing. We ask and want to know. For those with a bit keener curiosity, they want to know in more specifics - or accurately. Correct has several connotations depending on the theme. Here correct is synonymous with accurate. This Leper or Lepper or Odors or Oders thread is a spontaneous test, that without giving thought to it in advance, in hindsight reveals - by the number who jumped on it and their various inputs to it - not only the instinctive curiosity and creativity of man - but his drive for accuracy. So, arrgh!!! ? NO. hurrah! We _can_ still reason after all. Don't give up (in). Someday, unfortunately far off, yet surely to occur, there will arise a keener generation that via latent (but intrinsic) curiosity will have freed themselves from the dumbded down butterflying of today and once again discovered the science of lepidopterology. This future generation will have a lament though. It will be due to the number of subspecies (which evolutionally, is what all lepidopteran organic units are) that needlessly went extinct simply because those who saw them did not behold them. They saw without noticing, reported without knowing, cared without helping. If this generation could be brought back in the future to realize the damage they did by their inattention to taxonomic detail - they would simply say that they were sorry but they just didn't know. To which the future lepidopterists' response would be two pronged - That is because you were not told (by today's field guides) but also because you did not ask (the refusal to seek depth). Not only can we not report that which we do not know, we can not protect it either. Ron Post Script. "When I was a child I spoke, understood, and thought as a child.

For many years, I hardly even realized they were there. They were everywhere, and yet I took no particular notice of them. A friend of mine used to point them out with great fascination, but I could never fully relate to what she was talking about. And then - as if my eyes were suddenly opened for the first time - I began to notice the diversity and the incredible rainbow of colors that were presented on each and every leaf of each and every tree. And so I venture far and wide to embrace the leaves - each one uniquely different and special in it's own rite. I enjoy them on the tree, I enjoy them on the ground, and I especially enjoy them as they fall. If you get up really close, the fascination is multiplied. The texture, the variety of shape and color - all these contribute to the overwhelming attraction I find for these organic tokens of Creation. Through the years I have kept the most intriguing of leaves - putting them together in a spectacular portfolio worthy of presentation. They are primarily for my own personal enjoyment - though likely only because I find few who share a similar passion. I certainly never hesitate to share them. A friend has recently taken exception to my possessive tendencies. She insists that I should leave the leaves where I find them and take pictures instead. She has grown concerned for the well being of leaves, and insists that there are fewer leaves around now than when she was growing up. Perhaps this is true. She claims that I am contributing to the raping of forests, and notes that every year she's noticed the trees looking barer and barer. I don't know. I watch the forest every year - I'm in it daily, and have a vested interest in it's well being. It appears to me that the forest is well designed, and that the trees are capable of producing such a mass of leaves that the few that I take home should be of no concern. In support of this idea, I took note of the experience of another hobbyist whom, unlike myself, places no limit on the number of leaves that he acquires from a single tree. In one location he had removed so many leaves that I, too, became concerned with the trees ability to replenish. Returning to the spot the following spring, I was pleased to find the tree alive and well - fully adorned with the leaves of the new season. The trees are robust, and they produce many, many leaves. But my ecologically minded friend is not impressed. She points out that in her neighborhood she's noticing fewer and fewer leaves. I reason with her, and explain that there are fewer leaves in her neighborhood because there are fewer trees there - but that doesn't seem to sway her. Keep the trees, I tell her, and you'll always have plenty of leaves. Now I, too, have become concerned about the leaves. I went walking in one of my favorite patches of forest the other day, and to my astonishment the whole area had been dozed to the ground. A convenience mall was to be built on the spot so that those of us who have chosen to live in the country don't have to travel so far to buy the things that we need. One of my all time favorite trees - an old large oak that has never failed to provide an abundance of leaves - was currently being cut into firewood. One thing can be known as certain - no trees, and no leaves. Sigh. I suppose I will soon be forced to give up my passion for collecting leaves. As the surrounding landscape continues to be transformed into concrete and steel, I can see the day when there will truly be too few trees to sustain a hobby like mine. In the meantime, however, I've dedicated myself to doing something positive. And so now, for every leaf that I choose to call my own - I will plant a new tree.

Message-ID: I would not be surprised if there are records and sightings of the Black Witch (Ascalapha ordorata) from every state, province or territory on continental North America. I have had several brought into our collection from Dairy farmers, car repair shops, truck stops, and off a hog manure pile (that is what the farmer said - and yes - it looked like a bat.) here in south-central Alberta. I have been told it is a migrant that travels here from Mexico on the wind currents. Heck, if the wee tiny sunflower moth (Homoeosoma electellum) can move from Texas to Saskatchewan in 3 to 5 days during the proper wind conditions, the black witch can do it too. If the painted lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui) can move from Baja California to central Alberta and further environs, who is to argue the distribution or movement of the black witch. No, the host is not present here. I would be surprised if you don't have specimens in the U of Alaska collection. (maybe off the wind currents?) An agriculture professor who teaches in Mexico told me that it gets its name for being a bad oman for bringing bad luck when found in the presence of pregnant ladies. Somehow brings bad luck to the unborn baby. Not something to be used or seen at weddings.

Message-ID: <3b4f60b2.46298994@news.freeserve.com> I've been pondering over starting a new hobby, and breeding butterflies is most appealing. Now, please bear in mind that I'm a complete ignoramous on this subject so I might ask some foolish questions. Anyway, what is my main aim? Ultimately it would be nice to breed butterflies for release into the wild and continuance of the species, but I am of course aware that these should be carefully selected so that only butterflies local to the relevant area are released. I have concerns about where to keep them - if I breed butterflies that cannot be legally released then keeping them in a two foot by 3 foot 'cage' would presumably be cruel - these beautiful creatures are designed for flight and I don't want to restrict that freedom. Being a sentimental fool I don't think I could kill them, however humanely it is done. Presumably a larger area for keeping them is an option, but I don't really have the indoor space. A suitable garden area is an option, but then there are concerns about temperature control and general weather conditions. Yeah, I know, in the wild they simply have to survive whatever the weather, but you know what I mean. Breeding the more exotic species also appeals, but I guess I shouldn't try to run before I can walk and so should instead simply breed a few of the easier, more common breeds first. I also have two cats, and as most of you will know cats can be cruel buggers at times (I know, it's instinctive) as they just love to catch things that flap and skitter about. Care would obviously need to be taken to ensure the cats don't eat anything I've just reared! Is any of this feasible for me, or should I stop now? :) Assuming I can continue, can anyone please recommend any web sites that give a DETAILED account on breeding butterflies for a beginner? Also, are there any books that are particularly recommended? I'm in the UK if it's of any relevance.

Mutable: "given to changing, or constantly changing." Immutable: "unchanging, unalterable, changeless." There is a big difference between knowing enough to be a good editor and being creative enough to be a good author, being able to write a song but not sing it, conduct the music but not play or create it. I have written hundreds of articles and several booklets - all non leps (including a local weekly newspaper column for two years, which I quit because it was too much work). My editors always love my material and punchy style but hate my grammar, punctuation, spelling. I needed them, they made me look literate. Some of the dumbest people I know have a lot of knowledge or can spell real good. Knowledge, wisdom, insight, understanding - different animals. Knowledge is cheep - its a dime a dozen. Wisdom is rare - it can't be faked. Insight is what makes great councilors great - others don't like what it sees in them. To understand - is to have arrived. To let Anne's statements (made in her usual cutesy but sarcastic way) slide by is to give everyone else the impression that I have bowed my head, been put in my place, and acquiesced to the higher power. She is very wrong and does not have the faintest idea what she is talking about when it comes to "scientific names" and how they function. She does not understand. Anyone who does not own a copy of The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) Vol. 4 should not even be opening their mouth about taxonomy. Even many who do have a copy don't _understand_ how it works. Taxonomists are not free to do what ever they want. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is structured to bring immutability to organic defination and communication. Popular butterfly authors often work outside these rules and have screwed things up quite a bit. Gochfeld also posted recently that, " Ron, we've been down the name line often before. A scientific name is NO MORE OR LESS correct [than a common name] and certainly no more stable over time than any other name which people bestow on what they think they understand as what may be a species (or other level taxon)." To this I say that we obviously have not been down it far enough or long enough because people still just don't it - understand. At this point I do not even know if it is worth going into it. I have sat on this post for awhile wondering if I should even post this much. Then there is issue of space on a list like this. I have a question line for the people who want to discuss taxonomy and its nomenclatorial procedures. Do you own a copy of the ICZN (bible), have you read it, do you understand it, have you ever or do you work with it, is it a familiar every day tool to you? If not you are like a guy off the street putting on boxing gloves and getting in ring with Mike Tyson. A person with no license getting behind the wheel of a car. There are many entomology professors who don't know about _doing_ taxonomy. An organism is discoverd. It is then scientifically identified by a term that is based on Latin OR Greek OR a combiantion of both - or neither (e.g. an American Indian name left as is - cullasaja). When the science of systematic nomenclature was introduced it was so primative then that confusion was a common occurance. Many original descriptions were very brief and not accompanied by even a cartoonist painting - we were like babies learning to walk. Many of these are also so rare and obscure that some later workers did not even know they existed or if so, where to find them. But the system was brilliant. Our example will be Papilio ajax. After its coining it was found that when the word ajax was applied (in 1758) that several different butterflies were unknowingly included under this epithet. Eventually no one could tell to which it actually was affixed! Arguments over ajax ensued. Finally, it was wisely decided that we could never know to which organism that term was meant to apply. The scientific community went to court so to speak and ruled that rather than apply ajax improperly, ajax was banned in regard to several species of swallowtails involved - glaucus, marcellus, asterius, troilus. So how were these "ajax" to now be known? What NEW names were given to these? NONE. 1) It was never known in the first place what "ajax" was referring to so technically NO SINGLE butterfly was ever named this. 2) A new name was not sought. Rather an OLD name. Taxonomic names very rarely move FORWARD. If something is found defective - a nomen nudum, nomen dubium - the taxonomist MUST make a search for the oldest available name and he AND ALL OTHERS MUST use that one valid name. (There are exceptions and the new edition strongly leans to preserving names held in long usage. This is a very complicated and legalistic process that I am nutshelling.) That is the immutable goal of the system - find the oldest and stick with it forever. What ever the oldest available and valid word-term for a subspecies/species that is its name forever. Sometimes we are still finding that occasionally a name WE have been using (say turnus 1771), is the NEW name and that we should have been using the OLDER name (here glaucus) as THAT is the correct name by the Code. Glaucus is The immutable epithet - which is why we HAD to RETURN to it. Nothing changed - popular workers had just screwed up by using the incorrect name - turnus. This is like a child born and being given to the wrong parent at birth. The child was born a Smith - but (because of human error) its first 10 years was spent as a Jones. When the mistake was realized the child was given to its proper parents and is now know correctly as Smith. The friends who only knew it as Jones would (ignorantly) say, Oh you have a NEW name. The child would say, no I have found my OLD and REAL name. They of course, would not _understand_ because of what they did not know. Some might still want to, and would, call him/her Jones. This applies to genus names often. All butterflies were once just genus Papilio. Eventually we saw that was wrong. Wrong how? Because evolution had not made them all Papilio. The taxonomist could call them a "term" he chose (within the rules) but HAD to categorize them in groups as God and evolution made them. This gave rise to hairstreaks becoming Thecla rather then Papilio. This lumping was found incorrect also. Now, there are still Thecla but only the ones evolutionally related to the FIRST taxon in that genus to which the genus label Thecla was affixed. Thecla, like Papilio, is the immutable epithet for their respective genera. When new genera are discovered (uncovered) the proper evolutionary units MUST be placed in (moved to) them. When a species is transferred to another genus it is simply the scientifically demanded aligning of nomenclature with what nature has made - the original parent. I'll quit here. There is nothing capricious about scientific terms (unlike common names). What the lay person sees as random mutable name changes are not such at all. They are REQUIRED adjustment to bring the system to its immutalble conslusion (for this time and space). The name appalachia affixed to that organism in the southern US we commonly call the Appalachian Brown will never change ever - it can't be. It is immutable as that is the only and oldest scientific term available to it. The common name can, and likely will, be changed many times in the next thousand years. But not appalachia. It will stay in Satyroides too and can only be MOVED (not "renamed") to a different genus if the evolutionary evidence says that is where it belongs. Bottom line. 1) Species/subspecies level. A newly discovered animal is given a new name - within very strict parameters of the ICZN naming process. This is (basically) the only time we get "new" names. A named animal that we have known as xus for twenty years suddenly appears as wus in the popular literature - the uneducated see this as a new name. It is not - it is a return to an older name - the original immutable one. 2) A transfer of organisms into a new or another genus (or species due to a change in rank to subspecies) occurs through new evolutionary understanding. This is not always agreed upon by all "experts" and so more than one alignment may be found. However, the original epithet given to the individual organism stays the same as it is immutable. In time all the adjustments (from finding and adopting the original immutable epithets or from understanding the true evolutionary relationships) will provide an everlasting unchanging nomenclature. Scientific IDs (commonly called names) are the only correct class of labels for animals, plants, and minerals. Common names aren't. Au is and will be the correct "name" for what that element is no matter what it is called in any language (in English, Gold). Antiopa is the correct term for the animal no matter what it is called in any language.

Not only trees, but ferns and tiny little plants that grow close to the ground. Something else that may seem a little weird, is if you are ever caught in the woods in a rain storm, take time to notice the different sounds the rain makes as it hits the various kinds of trees. On a sad note also, there is an American Elm in my driveway that is losing leaves this year and undoubtedly is dying from the devastating Dutch Elm Disease. There used to be real giants around here, some three feet across at the base, but you don't see them like that much any more. I grew up on Long Island and I too remember seeing lot by lot of wooded areas disappear. The only positive thing I can remember about it was sometimes the bulldozed lots would sit for a few years before being built upon and they would grow up with weeds and make a temporary place to hunt for butterflies. mail to: sebrez at webtv.net ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From herschel.raney at conwaycorp.net Sat Jul 14 09:31:50 2001 From: herschel.raney at conwaycorp.net (herschel.raney at conwaycorp.net) Date: Sat, 14 Jul 2001 08:31:50 -0500 Subject: The Namings Message-ID: <3B500376.12540.758DDB0@localhost> Oh, I hesitate, and then I don?t. To speak of naming. And the taxonomic way. Anyone who looks at butterflies and plants and dragonflies out in that mutating force we call the world wants for a name for each thing. Some tag that puts it rightly in the mind. And there are so many. And taxonomists do base their naming on the best science they have. It results in fighting, such passion as this. The passion to apply the name that is the ?truth?. The truth about origination and time for each beast and bud. And that huge rulebook of taxonomy is the catalog of rules that brings the patterning process itself into order. Structures and color go here, just so. If you follow this set of pathways then your name will be the right name. And this may be. Until we know the coded tricks that made the colors shift, that made the genitalia fold and sharpen, that made the seabird swing right instead of left at that particular star?perhaps they are the best we have. But certainly once the coding is unfurled, once the jumps and splices that time and nature played upon are written out and we sit back and go ?ahhh, I see?, then the best rules are still guesses. And we will cling to what we have. The ordering of the birds has been all blasted around by some men with devices for measuring the DNA separation points. Boiling pressured pots and slippery codelines all pumped up together with the millions of years of shift and play, reconnection and breakage all brought down to one notation in Fahrenheit. The reordering evidence is there. The first bird in our US birdbook should be the Chachalaca. These are men of science, trying to get it right. And damn, I believe them, looking at the Chachalaca running up a tree in Santa Ana. Surely to God that thing is more ancient than a Loon. The bones and feathers fooled us. But not one guide has shifted to the new order. Can the visual lines of evidence be so crotchety? Change hurts even when it smells of truth. We are upstarts. We humans, I mean. Just 15 thousand years in North America. 15 million years ago at least 9 species of horses romped across Florida. We were not there to name them. We named their bones. Someone else may rename ours. We (and the consequences of our needs) are the most important force at work today in the world of destruction and natural choice. The first great force in nature with a conscience. I suppose we should be the namers too. But there will be arguments. One day we will have the entire code, every letter and link of DNA. Taxonomists argue that their book is the one. Developmental Embryologists argue they are the ones. The Code book for the DNA of all the world?s butterflies (the ones that are left) will eventually be available. We will say, ?Now we know the names?. Papilio glaucus, that lovely Swallowtail with the Y chromosome that occasionally makes a Black Tiger (now that is a name) may become PGLine 8, tangle flip 3,Y shift/Guanine 456. And there will be men who fight for everyone to call out this name when they find one out there in the wild. The new name is the one. It reflects all we can know about this creature. Our namings must have order. And I will cherish the new understanding of things. But I will still point with my finger at the buttonbush or the lily, at the fluttering dark wonder upon it and whisper in my daughter?s ear, ?there, right there, goes another Black Tiger?.

Message-ID: "A rose by any other name......." ---Bill Shakespeare "....I want to hear...the scream...of...the...butterfly...." ---Jim Morrison Well, if the butterflies could talk, what would they say.... "Hi. I'm Speyeria idalia. Most of you know me as the "regal fritillary", but it makes no difference to me. You call the native people of my homeland "Indians" but they don't come from India, do they?. You see, I live in the tallgrass praries of the Great Plains. Those "Indians" maintained the land in the a way that made it very easy to live with them. No wonder, in the east, they believed that seeing the silvery spots on the wings of my cousin Speyeria cybele would bring good fortune. But once, I soared over farmland, wet meadows, coastal grasslands and prarie remnants throughout the Northeast too. You see, Man changed the land there many many years ago, and I was able to move into new territory and prosper. Man changed the land again, but very rapidly, and it caught me by surprise. So I did what the movie stars now do....I spent my summers on Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Block Island and New York's tony "Hamptons". But the last ferry left without me, and I was stranded. I got cut off and crowded out as the land in these precious places changed again, and now....my only home the the northeast is on a Pennsylvania military reservation, where my sorry little lepidopteran butt may soon be flattened permanently by rolling tanks. ----Or---- Howdy y'all. Eacles imperialis here. Southerners know us well as the "imperial moth", or more often as "that huge yellow thing on the screen" and my scary spiny caterpillar twirled the parasol of many a mint-julep-sippin' southern belle, on the back porch, back in the day. Now you're not gonna believe this one, colonel, but I once had some Yankee cousins! That's right, pale, skinny-legged New Englanders on beaches and campsites all through the old colonies had the same reaction to my Yankee kin....many years ago....but now, we prefer to stay down below the Mason Dixon line, thank you very much. Oh, sure, we may it up to the Jersey shore pretty often. But those damn Yankees....just as soon as we hit a good patch of host-rich habitat (we have APPETITES, y'know)...nice pitch pine/scrub oak barren, rich oak/hickory or beech/maple forest, even a tasty little roadside patch o'sassafras..... why the Yankees come along and whack up a shopping mall, or some smoke-belching factory...or....they start dumpin crazy stuff like DDT, or some durn bacteria all over us, to get rid of those dang Gypsies! . Why in Massachusetts, they went right ahead and called us a species of "special concern', cause, expect for a few kin hanging on out right now on Martha's ! ! Vineyard, we've been gone from there for, gosh, maybe fifty-year, if a day. And y'now, our Dixie cousins Citheronia regalis feel the same way. Oh you know them....some folk call 'em the "regal moth' old timers prefer "royal walnut moth" and well....still other fools say "hickory horned devil"....but ....they don't give a hot-dang what YOU call'em...they're stayin' down in the land of cotton for good.....except for a litte gamblin at Atlantic City....why they're fit to be hog tied... red-orange-yellow mad! Stayin away from northern parts too...and who could blame 'em. one of their favorite snacks, Juglans cinera...er, butternut to you, buster......got a mean blight, and they're dying off too!

That's right, pale, skinny-legged New Englanders on beaches and campsites all through the old colonies had the same reaction to my Yankee kin....many years ago....but now, we prefer to stay down below the Mason Dixon line, thank you very much ________________ new stuff from Ron: To a southerner where the Imperial Moth sill reigns, it is hard to comprehend the loss of this moth in the northeast. As a person who is both concerned about the well being of organisms and understands systematics - I can only point a finger to the moth-ers who so many of are proud hyper lumpers who distain the subspecies syndrome. I am saddened to think of the many valid subspecies going undescribed - only to end up with no-name, no identity, no matter, no more. Not to mention the future evolutionary entities that will never exist due to these unknown extinctions of potential parents. Eacles imperialis imperialis is the subspecies in the northeastern US. It exists as a subspecies only in the northeast US and down the Appalachians (same range as most northern subspecies of many butterflies, skippers and moths). Then in cline of intermediates along the eastern seaboard to the southern (ignored) subspecies Eacles imperialis imperatoria (Smith, 1797 - as adopted by Ferguson 1971, per ICZN 45.6.4.1- etc.). This subspecies is found across the deep South inc. Florida. Here, cavalconte@, is where taxonomic names are very relevant. We can not, and will not, protect that which we do not know. Imperialis of the South is NOT Imperialis of the north. THIS taxonomic understanding provides the single greatest legal reason to see imperialis imperialis as threatened - for what is common in the south is imperialis imperatoria. A rose by any other name? Not so. Shakespeare sure had a way with words, but he didn't know squat about Roses. There is sure a lot of difference between Rosa bracteata, canina, carolina, damascena, eglanteria, gallica, laevigata, micrantha, multiflora, palustris, setigera.... not to mention villosa, lyoni, floridana etc. There would be no endangered ros-es if all there was was a rose. Back to imperialis. In MONA (Moth of America North of Mexico) Ferguson establishes that imperatoria is NOT a seasonal form "Study of a large sample from coastal South Carolina, where the species is double brooded, shows that the variation color is not seasonal." Imperialis as a "form" is uncommon in subspecies imperatoria and "form" imperatoria is virtually unknown in subspecies imperialis. So, you want to protect Imperial Moth? Or any other animal or plant? Then one must determine just what it is. Which means you environmentalist need us taxonomic geeks after all.

Message-ID: <002601c10cb1$6cf00ae0$b162a58e@allez123> I think I started this thread, but who knows anymore. Yes, I like common names - the vernacular - better than Latin. They are much easier for me to learn and remember than Latinized nomenclature. However, this should not be taken as an argument against any of the well thought-out and lucidly presented points that Ron Gatrelle has graced us with. Recently, an escapee has made its way from the Bahamas all the way here to the north country - Saskatchewan. The Eurasian Collared Dove. So it is named in bird books printed in North America. In European books it is called the Collared Dove. Why am I certain that it is the same bird? The Latin name for both the Eurasian Collared Dove and the Collared Dove is Streptopelia decaocto in all books. Streptopelia decaocto is not an aide-memoire to me, Collared Dove is. It's the pigeon with the black ring on the back of its neck where the neck meets the rest of the bird's body. I suspect that one hundred years ago the study of butterflies was sufficient for an amateur. Amateur: Personne qui aime, cultive, recherche. A French word that means someone who loves, cultivates, studies. Today, an amateur most not only study, but also protect. When Martin Luther translated the Bible from Latin to the vernacular, he consciously broke the monopoly on sacred understanding by a self-indulgent elite and spread to all those who wanted learn as well as feel. If butterflies are to be protected from the ravages of what is so often called progress, there must be a political will to do so. Given that there precious few dollars to be made in butterfly study.. or even in butterfly "farming" I do not see those interested in butterflies being an economic power capable of lobbying governments. Increased legislation aimed at protecting butterflies will only come from a mass constituent hammering on the doors of elected power. Hence, there is the pressing need for those who study Lepidoptera to become inclusive in attitude and not a self-indulgent elite. They do not have economic power. They must reach out to as many people as possible. They must decrease impediments to learning and appreciation. Agreed upon names in the vernacular have a place beside the more exacting Latinized script. Martin Bailey, cmbb at sk.sympatico.ca phone/fax 306 842-8936 102 1833 Coteau Avenue, Weyburn, SK., Canada.

Message-ID: Like Ron Gatrelle, I prefer to use scientific names for butterflies, especially for the arctic species I work with--most of which lack any real vernacular common names. Instead we have to cope with abortions like 'Four- dotted Alpine' (for _Erebia youngi_)--which as an attempt at a descriptive name is perhaps a bit more useful than 'Two-winged Warbler' would be for a bird. However, I lack Ron's certainty about there being one 'correct' name for a given organism. Taxonomists can disagree (about almost anything, it would seem). What I call _Erebia youngi_, Scott calls _Erebia dabanen- sis_. What many people call _Clossiana polaris_, others call _Boloria polaris_--and North American and Eurasian workers disagree about many names for holarctic species. The new book about the butterflies of British Columbia lumps _Clos- siana chariclea_ and what, in North America, has been called _Clossiana titania_ as a single species under the name _chariclea_. In Interior Alaska these two taxa fly in the same bog habitat in the taiga--but '_titania' flies every year in late summer, while _chariclea_ flies in odd-numbered years in mid-summer, and is different in facies from '_titania_'. I cannot accept these as conspecific, but Shepard fails to find this behavior any reason for their _not_ being conspecific. So what is the 'correct' name for these taxa? At this time I would have to say that there is disagreement among taxonomists, pending further work. appears to regard the ICZN as an algorithm, which, when followed, will invariably spit out the 'correct' name. This approach downplays the human factor, which allows the basic algorithm to produce a number of different scientific names for the same organism. I still prefer the scientific name, despite all that. When working with holarctic species, one _has_ to use scientific names in order to communicate with people using different languages within the range of any single species. But people in different countries may be using different scientific names as well--the standard European checklists do not always agree with the standard North American lists. Scientific names do have one advantage, however: they can be tracked through time with the aid of synonomic catalogues. It is possible to figure out which names used in Holland match which names used today by going through a few catalogues. This process is much more difficult for common names, since they often conceal the genus, and are subject to unregulated arbitrary changes through time. I have not added common names to the above--after finding out that you can use the NABA website to bring up the common names for any scientific name, I don't see the need for adding those names to a posting concerned only with arctic species that are unfamiliar to many people by _any_ name. Anyone I know who works with these species will know them as listed above.

Thanks, Dave Fallow in Wisconsin >> Hi Dave, Hope you consider it appropriate, as I thought you question was pretty appropriate for the list... I live here in Mexico and have for the past 7 years, here are some of my thoughts, though from Wisconsin it could get tricky... Your question sort of treats Mexico as if it were a single region, while of course it is more diverse than the US, both in fauna (about 2,500 butterfly species) and in habitats. Where I live in Monterrey the above books are are fine and there will always be unknowns here and there which adds to the fun. The practice of inventorying sightings is cultural, and I find the hobby never tedious on the days I don't. As a matter of fact, I pity folks in the US who have so many supercharged butterfly gurus fluttering about that one could get so hung up in nomenclature and inventorying without ever getting out to do some soul-filling free format field activities. So my notes contain dumb names like Guion4 (Guion en spanish is "Dash"), and even descriptive ones like Powdered Sugar-Z Roadside Skipper, names to me which are just as valid as any other I know, or any professionally or commercially coined ones. Someday which I will discover the scientific name for the former, though honestly, I have no burning desire to since I already know the bug for my purposes and practice my hobby only for my enjoyment. Regarding binocs, etc., I have a very impressive pair, as well as a good camera. However, the binocs seem to be workout ballast as I always have them in the fannypack but honestly only use them just to check out occasional attractive joggers. If I spend a lot of time in the field in a specific area, I find in practically all cases opportunities come up to approach butterflies and observe them unintrusively with the naked eye, even if the ankle hurts and the belly gets scratched by pebbles, or worse the nose touches carrion. The most interesting & challenging aspect to me is to learn about a butterfly's behavior and ideally not even need to clearly see it so clearly 'on display' to recognize it. For example, as I type this I am observing several fatimas. Now while it is an easy example, it is not less fun to watch their nervious changing of sites, fights with other species, spasmodic form of flight when nectaring, and frequent coquetiveness. All one sees are Tasmanian Devil (cartoon) like movements with red or white flashes without getting up from my strained perspective. But if you know your area butterflies, they are unmistakeable. Some food for thought: Four years ago, I had the opportunity to go butterflying with a expert amateur butterfly author here. We saw a type of tiger swallowtail. Immediately he indicated it was the glaucus type and it was noted by our recorder. To me that was pretty shocking, since the flight and size was so obviously of a three-tailed pilumnus, although something seemed wrong - it suggested a space shuttle type landing flight over the normal gracefulness...continuing with the anecdote:....I said "un uh...three tails!", and the now disinterested expert broke out into a boyish charge, camera first photographing the pilumnus as best he could - which it turns out had lost a good part of its three tailed rudders to some predator. My point with the above anecdote, returning to your original question, is that no experts and exacting guides are needed to have a great and meaningful time at butterflying here. Said expert could kick my Lepstering ass in 99% of the US with one eye closed when it comes to Butterfly Inventorying. Of course, instead of general butterflying, if you are locked into "butterfly inventorying", to me, an afliction very different focus, which I am not suffering from at this moment. Perhaps the distinction of "Butterfly Inventorying" vs. other Butterflying, is a topic worth discussion. Anyhow, guides (or worse yet manuals) are simply crutches, and while nice, are certainly not required to have fun here or anywhere. Of course, we are not the first generation of butterflyers nor was butterflying invented with the landmark Audubon Guide in the US and all of its sequels. Invent some names yourself and I'm sure you'll agree. Just don't let anyone shove them down anyone's throat or you just might take the fun away from them... Anyway, that sums up a few suggestions to butterfly here or anywhere I suppose...if you have any specific questions, I'd be glad to give a shot at answering them. Regarding guidebooks, there are a few which help, at least the last two you probably know quite well! "Mariposas Mexicanas" by de la Maza (general country, strong in central, most of the common bugs) "Butterflies of Costa Rica" by De Vries (A nice complement for places south of Mexico City) "A Field Guide to Butterflies of Texas", by Neck (Nice for the Northeast, fun to find the errors) "Butterflies of Southeastern Arizona" by Bailowitz "North American Butterflies" by Howe (Good job on Mexico - here's a guy who was is a great amateur butterflier for Mexican stuff) "North American Butterflies" by Scott (Precision at its best and very helpful plates for transients) "Audubon Guide to North American Butterflies" by Pyle (Such as nice book, though a few errors, nice for the North) "http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/lepid/bflyusa/bflyref.htm" (try running this for Northern Mex, though I haven't it probably is your best bet for general inventorying) Happy Butterflying.

Even many who do have a copy don't _understand_ how it works. Taxonomists are not free to do what ever they want. The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is structured to bring immutability to organic defination and communication. Popular butterfly authors often work outside these rules and have screwed things up quite a bit. ================== There's something almost biblical in that proclamation (is that an accident, Ron?). But it's important to recognize that the code itself is mutable. It changes (albeit ponderously) to reflect the state of the cultures of systematics, taxonomy, and nomenclature, which are NOT AT ALL the same thing. Systematics is the study of the relationships Taxonomy is the practice of classifying things (not necessarily by relationships. Read for example the numerical taxonomists who were primarily entomologists) Nomenclature is the practice of giving names. The discussion has really been about nomenclature in the hope (held to differing degrees by the various discussants) that it reflects relationships. The code is primarily about nomenclature. As I read it taxonomy is only the underpinning.

The "fault" in the above does not lie in systematics or the ICZN Code etc. It lies in the fact that 1) individuals are writing broad "popular" books who are not expert on every single taxa they cover. The problem is that so-n-so does not know what he is talking about in some places and is right on the money (even ahead of the game) in others. THIS CAN NOT BE AVOIDED. No one is that up on every single critter. So, let's not attribute human error (a drunk driver) as being the fault of the vehicle or its manufacturer (Volvo). For the topic here, let's QUIT attributing. 2) Specialists may be in honest disagreement on generic placement or specific placement, but at the lowest level (subspecies) there would have to be agreement. (I am not talking here about agreement that X is or is not a valid subspecies.) This is still a human element and not a result of the system. Boy, am I pressed for space here! Example, I hope, later. Every name should be lined up properly at the subspecific level (which is the level below most current common names=species). I feel I have not yet properly communicated something. The word "correct" in my primary usage, is not relative to turnus vs. glaucus NOR Mourning Cloak vs. Camberwell Beauty. It relates to a correct system - names based on science vs. an incorrect system - names based on cultural and linguistic whims. There is an absolute correct scientific "name" for everything, WE have just not figured out what they all are yet or settled all the individual arguments. The Linnaean system and the ICZN, ICBN etc. are masterpieces. Once the light really goes on to what these actually are in structure and function they take on enormous import and solicit our submission and deepest respect. We, and the "names" it allows us to create, are subject to it. Whereas in common names they are totally subject to us. Got to wrap this up. Xus is a genus; wus is a taxon and gus in a taxon everyone knows this. But, some say it is Xus wus and Xus gus (two species) others that it is Xus wus wus and Xus wus gus (one species two subspecies) others Xus gus gus and Xus gus wus. (ditto, different combination) Lots of changes there right? Nope. wus is always wus and gus is always gus as an individual taxon. The combinations change but the same "name" is always fixed to the same biological entity - at the lowest level it is immutable. Another example. Some say troilus is in genus Papilio Some say troilus is in genus Pterourus (me for one) Which? That is by in large the wrong question if you understand the system. The Genus level name Pterourus is forever tied to the species name troilus because Scudder in 1871 introduced Pterourus with troilus as its biological type species. Thus - and I hope this is communicating - troilus will always be a Pterourus and Pterourus will always be a troilus. Glaucus, palamedes etc. (others now placed in this genus Pterourus) may be moved to other genera or others added in the future - but Pterourus and troilus are always welded together. NOW, with the evolutional and morphological characters set forth by Scudder we also now see that Pterourus is where glaucus, palamedes and others belong to - by our understanding of these characters they have to go there because, evolutionally, they ARE there. Again, the taxonomist really creates nothing - he only relays in systematic terminology what already exists in nature. He is but a translator of the organic to the human understanding. Next systematic step. Some think the "differences" Scudder deliniated are not of such magnitude to warrent a full genus stature. Thus, these believe that the proper genus (by its evolutionary, morphological (including genatalic), biological (inc. larval structures etc) - gobs of stuff- criteria dictates that troilus, glaucus, palamedes and the others be placed in the genus Papilio. So these guys got rid of Pterourus - right? Nope, not at all. Even when they write, Papilio troilus the following is also assumed (by anyone who really uderstands systematics) Papilio (Pterourus) troilus. In recognizing the genus Papilio OVER Pterourus, it is gross error to assume that Pterourus has some how been done away with - it is simply moved to a position of subgenus. Just because (Pterourus) is not written does not mean at all that it is not present. This is like our species subspecies example above. When a worker feels that there are not two species Xus wus and Xus gus but one - and he then merges the two under wus, gus is not done away with it is simply moved from the rank of species to that of subspecis Xus wus gus. Papilio troilus and Papilio (Pterourus) troilus are identical. But, in Pterourus troilus - watch closely - Papilio is not negated as a genus, it is just excluded as the genus in which troilus resides. Papilio is moved to a sister generic position. troilus is immutable, Pterourus is immutable, and Papilio is immutable. The systematic combinations are to a great degree dictated and to a minute degree pliable. But even where pliable rules exist to regulate even there. To say troilus is a Papilio is to still be saying it is a Pterourus - but in the subgenus position. To say troilus is a Pterourus by genus is to say it is NOT a Papilio by genus. In these three combinations troilus is always the same - Pterourus troilus is always present even if the word Pterourus in not in print or spoken i.e Papilio troilus - only in the combination Pterourus troilus is Papilio excluded but not negated. Ken started by saying, "However, I lack Ron's certainty about there being one 'correct' name for a given organism. Taxonomists can disagree (about almost anything, it would seem)." If taxonomists are turely submitted to and working within the ICZN code they may disagree about which Family, Subfamily, Genus, Subgenus, Species a single basic taxon belongs in - but they can never disagree about the taxon's unique epithet as it is totally dictated by the Rules of Priority and subsequent elements of the Code. Nor can they disagree about its author or date. Those who do disagree at this basic level just need to be set straight. When we talk of "common names" we are specifically and only talking about names that apply to the same _solitary_ basic taxa that the immutable scientific names are affixed to - WHY? There are no common names for Genera NOT ONE. Swallowtail, satyr, ringlet etc. all extend well beyond or around specific genera. Neither Gulf Fritillaries nor Variegated Fritillaries are Speyeria, Argynnis, Mesoacidalia etc. To say that common names are not dumbed down compared to scientific names is dumb. The long phrase Great Spangled Fritillary is just a big phrase for _cybele_ Not Speyeria cybele. I wish people would realize how important a statement I just made - but I have little hope of that. I will close with the following statement that was sent to another group by an eminent English scientist, teacher, taxonomist. "Don't forget that the American Audubon Society, or whatever its moniker is, uses common names for all the birds. The names even require the use of capital letters. This has the wonder action of removing identified relationships (genus and related species). For example, for the American Robin (not American robin), what genus is it, and what other species are in the genus, and in what family is it? American Robin - what the heck does that tell us?" What the "heck" indeed! Spicebush Swallowtail says nothing compared to Papilio (Pterourus) troilus fakahatcheensis. Ken's indecisive collage says much more than Arctic Fritillary. In their seeming confusion they are infinitely more correct - they actually tell us something is going on.

But even if one referred to that list, which has by the way a section on nomenclature in the back, one still could not have a properly referenced list without those attributions and synonyms. Perhaps future editions might contain these. Perhaps there is still time in our lifetimes to a get a list that is most useful for both us amamteurs and the more professional of you.

The count is centered approximately at Lakehurst, NJ (Ocean County, NJ) It has a mixture of Pine Barrens, abandoned and active cranberry bogs, old fields, farm fields, and forest edges. A large part of it is a military base, which has, among others things, a monument to the Hindenberg crash site. One of the best old fields was depleted by a golf course, but using the State's Endangered species act, people were able to limit the golf course to 18 holes instead of the originally planned 36 holes. The remainder of the site is in pretty good shape. Here are the results of the 7th annual "fourth of July count". All parties concurred that butterfly activity was low and slow. Several species at the lowest or second lowest counts. Partly it reflects the season. The late morning was unbearably hot (mid-90's) and butterfly activity seemed to be depressed (as were the counters). Some of the counts which will seem low reflect the fact that this is largely a pine barrens area where some common species are unexplicably uncommon. Other low counts reflect the seasonality in general (the timing of the count in relation to phenology), and some low counts reflect the peculiar phenology of 2001. ============================================================= Papilio polyxenes Black Swallowtail 0 usually missed Papilio glaucus Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 1 typically scarce Papilio troilus Spicebush Swallowtail 6 typical numbers Pieris rapae Cabbage White 22 2nd lowest Colias philodice Clouded Sulphur 2 typical Colias eurytheme Orange Sulphur 29 typical Lycaena phlaeas American Copper 62 2nd lowest Lycaena epixanthe Bog Copper 21 2nd lowest Satyrium titus Coral Hairstreak 8 lowest Satyrium calanus Banded Hairstreak 11 2nd lowest Satyrium liparops Striped Hairstreak 2 2nd lowest Satyrium favonius Northern/Southern or Oak Hairstreak 0 (only 1x) Parrhasius m-album White M Hairstreak 0 (only 1x) Strymon melinus Gray Hairstreak 1 typically scarce Calycopis cecrops Red-banded Hairstreak 0 usually missed Everes comyntas Eastern Tailed Blue 77 2nd highest Celastrina neglecta Summer Azure 8 2nd highest Euptoieta claudia Variegated Fritillary 2 usually scarce, these were very worn.

Only a left brained soulless computer would find a bit de fault with that - or Mark Walker's recent parallel of leaf collecting and butterfly collecting. I love Herschel's closing line. "But I will still point with my finger at the buttonbush or the lily, at the fluttering dark wonder upon it and whisper in my daughter's ear, ' there, right there, goes another Black Tiger'. " I concur fully. I hope we humans never loose (sell) our souls to the pragmatic. In everyday usage I call many Lepidoptera by their common names. Whenever I see a cecropia I call it a Cecropia, a diana a Diana, a kingi a King's, etc. Others I just call Monarch, Queen, Buckeye - I don't even stipulate which buckeye, queen or monarch. Some I always call favonius, berryi, aesculapius, or septentrionalis. As you can see, my personal usages have nothing to do with common vs. scientific or easy (short) vs. tongue-twister. I just use what ever I am use to. I think everyone has that same right. But no one has to right to demand that others only do it their way. The reality is that of all the various name users, I have only found one faction that is insisting that their choice must be used - and that is the common names _only_ group. These not only do not, but refuse to, use scientific names. They also refuse to use any common names other than those proposed by their pet organization. (The are usually under the gross misimpression that "their" list is The Standardized One.) They think that they are being gracious in saying one can use scientific names _as long as_ they also post/say the common name at the same time. If one asks them to reciprocate by also posting/saying the scientific name they scream in outrage. 1. Use what ever names you want for your personal use. 2. In groups, use that which will communicate to all - which often means using both. 3. Acknowledge that scientific names are the correct terms for organisms. 4. Have fun and never loose the soul factor. I'm off to the field for a few days to help document a butterfly fauna for the Forest Service. Paul, I am turning the controversy baton back to you.

I spent eight years imbibing science at two respected universities. Some of my best friends are taxonomists. Perhaps some of my postings have been read hastily and misunderstood. Nor have I invented the lumpers and the splitters. The splitters are those taxonomists that like to find that a sub-species is indeed a separate species (and a new or ancient name is assigned). The lumpers are taxonomists who like to discover that two species, often on opposite sides of the globe, are, in fact, the same bug or bird or whatever, and therefore should have the same name. The oldest one is used, as Ron points out. With advances in DNA analysis and such, many creatures may change names, back and forth, several times in your lifetime. Both lumpers and splitters are, in fact, scientists, and neither term is an insult. I am very happy to use both scientific and common names, and have been doing so for many years. I think perhaps the confusion here results from my NABA membership. Not all NABA members espouse all the prejudices and failings that a few do. Myself, I am kind to collectors, and treat taxonomists with courtesy and understanding. And I cannot understand why anyone should think otherwise.

I heard on the news a few days ago that based, apparently, on the shape (i.e., indentations, angles, elevations, etc.) of a single molar dated over 5 million years old, an new species has been designated as an ancestor to the human race. Now, if we applied such standards to butterfly taxonomy, variations in wing scales and body hairs, for example, would result in an abundance of new species. In fact, it might be possible for each individual from a single brood to be designated as a distinct species. Contrary to some of the accepted species concepts? No problem at all. All we need to do is invent something called the 'area gradient kinship phyologenetic species concept'. Stan p.s., since I invented it, I retain all rights to the term 'area gradient kinship phyologenetic species concept' (-: "Grkovich, Alex" wrote: > > Now we have a new argument created by the anti-scientists: First, > "common/scientific names", now "lumpers/splitters".

(But then, why be a member?)" Ah, why be a NABA member. Is it the dandy little magazine, with the photos defaced by somebody with artistic inclinations, so that I cannot use them for collage and decoupage, as is my happy custom? Is it the editorials? Is it, in fact inertia ... easier to continue to belong than to drop out? Why, no. I belong to NABA because I care deeply about butterflies (and moths) and the world they live in. I am eager to help educate people in general to the needs and wishes of leps, and to assist them (the leps) on life's journey. For, if there are plenty of bugs, there are also plenty of the critters who eat them. Butterflies are for the birds. I am also glad to increase and enhance my own education, which is one reason I stick with this list. Some NABA members oppose collecting, for various reasons. These reasons they may exhibit in the magazine, or on this list. Many other members are collectors, and have written about that in the magazine. Jeff himself is a collector. Quite a few of us neither collect nor object. The NABA web page to which Wanda Dameron directed us has both common (vernacular English) and scientific names, so arranged that one can, given either name, find the other. That's useful, if you happen to be in another country and wonder what a Mourning Cloak might be, or whether a Purple Hairstreak feeds on oak or mistletoe. The page gives no preference to either name, and the people of the leps list decided, long ago, to use both common name and scientific name for whatever leps they are discussing. Those who are kind enough to include the English name get extra points. ;-) NABA *has* taken a stand against Butterfly Farming, and I'm not at all sure I agree, but that's beside the point. The point I am making is that, if those of you prejudiced against NABA had their way, everyone who uses scientific names and approves of collecting would leave NABA and you could be perfectly right about your prejudices. That would leave NABA with about 12 rabid members, and good riddance to it. I don't see that happening any time soon, and perhaps it is time for the NABA bashers to rethink their position, abandon their prejudices, and enjoy the light of day once more. It is, after all, the Millennium. It is cold and rainy here, planning gale force winds again today. I saw a LBJ yesterday (Little Brown Job, perhaps something rare and exciting but more probably a Speckled Wood, Pararge aegeria) which banged against my window and flew off. Other than that, not much in the way of leps. Perhaps tomorrow will be better. Peace, and good bugs to you Anne Kilmer Mayo, Ireland Thus ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From gochfeld at eohsi.rutgers.edu Tue Jul 17 06:06:32 2001 From: gochfeld at eohsi.rutgers.edu (Michael Gochfeld) Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2001 06:06:32 -0400 Subject: NJ Salt marsh July 16, 2001 In-Reply-To: Michael Gochfeld "Re: Painted Lady" (Jul 16, 4:42pm) References: <8.1733da41.288479bb@aol.com> <00e401c10e25$02d6e0a0$10e3fea9@s0022921733> <3B5351A3.85378881@eohsi.rutgers.edu> Message-ID: <1010717060635.ZM15534@Gochfeld> Yesterday Fred Lesser, Joanna Burger and I visited two islands in Barnegat Bay (Ocean County, NJ) near Barnegat Inlet. "Dredge" Island was created about 15 years ago and has undergone extensive succession (like most such islands), being almost completely vegetated. North Clam Island remains a Spartina alterniflora salt marsh. There were virtually no nectar sources present. Salt Marsh Skippers (Panoquina panoquin) were NOT found. They are "out" this time of year, although we find peak numbers in late summer when over a thousand can be counted at Brigantine (Forsyth) National Wildlife Refuge. Their host in NJ is presumed to be Distichlis, a widespread salt marsh grass, but you don't necessarily find them in patches of this grass, so I would say the host in NJ is still poorly known. There were a few Cabbage Whites which fluttered weakly out of the Beach Grass in the early morning. Red Admirals WERE present, but there were very few, about 8 seen flying by over the course of six hours. Also one fresh Monarch (this species still hasn't hit central NJ in any numbers this summer). Salt marshes and barrier beaches are NOT places you would go for a diversity of butterflies, but they are interesting. The Seaside Dragonfly (Erythrodiplax berenice) was super abundant. You could stand in one place an estimate about 400 hovering among the Phragmites stems and Baccharis bushes.

Message-ID: <5.0.2.1.0.20010717185131.023ebe30@pop3.concentric.net> Folks, Today in my garden I found a Red Admiral Chrysalis in a folded and sealed up False Nettle leaf. Just like they normally eat the leaves from their protected leaf shelter. My questions are was this caterpillar over zealous in what it could eat or was it planning on over wintering inside the leaf? I`d think if a Red Admiral adult emerged inside this live green leaf it couldn`t escape? I`ve found only two caterpillars and loads of tops cut off by caterpillars in my 40 foot long native patch of False Nettle, many adults are visiting daily and leaving eggs. I took tripod photos of the Chrysalis and had a bonus show up on another leaf a fat black and orange longhorn beetle. The longhorn beetle I`m not sure if its using the False Nettle as a host plant or not.

Good > Luck Bill In Tucson Just a tip I was given for running lights off an inverter. You can make the 'High voltage' side of the inverter leads quite long but ensure that the 'Low voltage' leads (The leads to the battery) are no longer than a metre. The current being drawn from the battery is huge and a significant voltage drop will occur if your battery leads are too long. Also note that 'inverters' cannot drive purely inductive loads like electric drills/motors etc. If you try you will most likely blow the high power drive transistors. I have an old 'inverter' that is based around a 12V DC industrial motor and a 240V AC dynamo. This can drive inductive loads up to 1KW and is very quiet if a bit heavy but not as heavy as a petrol driven generator.

I returned from a trip to Austria to find two V. cardui hanging around some yellow lantanas in my yard. This was truly startling as I had seen the species in Europe, only to come home and see them in my front yard where I had never seen them before! They were there all that day and were still there the next morning. The following day, one of them was seen sunning itself near the lantanas. It flew up over the house and that was the last I've seen of them (two days ago). In the twelve years I've lived in Florida, I have never seen V. cardui in my yard. The general rule in Florida is that you rarely see more than one at a time, and you're lucky to see one at all. The species is also being observed in various other areas of the state, primarily the northern and central counties. Until this year, I estimate that I've only seen 5 or 6 V. cardui during the nearly thirty years I've studied butterflies in Florida.

Not Fiji. This is Mt. Charleston, just north and west of Las Vegas, NV. It's really a fascinating chunk of high altitude mountain habitat right in the middle of the non-oasis that is Las Vegas. Bill Gendron and I decided to drive from SoCal early on Monday to see what was flying. It's an easy drive, even if it takes almost five hours (three of those are through the middle of the Mojave desert). We left early enough to escape most of the heat, and arrived in the Spring Mountains by 11:00 a.m. As you head for higher altitudes (there are a number of access roads, including the well known Kyle and Lee canyons just north of the city), the desert chaparral is quickly replaced with pinon and juniper, which is then replaced by aspen and pine. The highest altitudes are above the timberline altogether. As we arrived at roads end, we were embraced by the cool temperature. No signs of the misery being endured in the desert below - this was a piece of heaven, and the people that frequent this area (who include the Vegasites that prefer snowsports) are more mountain goat then they are desert rat. All trails head virtually straight up, and there are several thousand feet in elevation to go in this direction. Along with the cool temperature came a ubiquity of green. There were lots of plants in bloom - none more common than a species of thistle, which was sprouting up everywhere. There was little water at the medium elevations this year, which didn't bode well for the summer lep populations. I suspect, based on the lack of leps and the condition of the Limenitis weidemeyerii (which was mostly worn) that we were a bit late - late June would have been ideal. Nevertheless, there were leps on the wing. There were many Celastrina flying between the lower bushes, and we even found a number of the unique little Plebejus icarioides flying about a very strange looking lupine growing on the roadside. Also surprisingly common were Polygonia gracilis (Hoary Comma). We thought we had seen Polygonia satyrus, but none of the specimens I brought home were this species. We'd see an occasional Speyeria (zerene?) carolae hover by, but were disappointed that they weren't more common. With little to examine except for the above mentioned leps and an abundance of Colias eurytheme (Orange Sulphur), we headed up one of the local trails to higher terrain. Before long we found ourselves in a mature pine forest with lots of thistle. Here is where we starting seeing an abundance of Frits. At the end of the day, the pretty Carol's Fritillary was the most common butterfly we had seen. It is a very unique insect, as Fritillaries go, quite obviously different than the other western Frits I've encountered. Needless to say, we were quite pleased to enjoy it's abundance. I went on to even higher elevations, only to tire and dream of a return trip when I'll come prepared to stay. By 4:00 p.m. we were bushwhacked and dehydrated, and in need of heading for home. We were not pleased to find the desert still inhospitably hot, and quickly wished we were back up at high altitude. At 6:30 p.m., in Baker, CA., the world's largest thermometer was reading 97 degrees F. Our list: Papilio rutulus (Western Tiger Swallowtail) Neophasia menapia (Pine White) Colias eurytheme (Orange Sulphur) Nathalis iole (Dainty Sulphur) Strymon melinus (Gray Hairstreak) Leptotes marina (Marine Blue) Celastrina ladon (Spring Azure) Plebejus icarioides (Boisduval's Blue) Speyeria (zerene) carolae (Carol's Fritillary) Euptoieta claudia (Variegated Fritillary) Polygonia gracilis (Hoary Comma) Vanessa cardui (Painted Lady) Vanessa annabella (West Coast Lady) Vanessa atalanta (Red Admiral) Limenitis weidemeyerii (Weidemeyer's Admiral) Cercyonis pegala (Common Wood Nymph) Danaus plexippus (Monarch) Hesperia colorado (Branded Skipper) Mark Walker Oceanside, CA ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From beebuzz at kiva.net Thu Jul 19 14:59:32 2001 From: beebuzz at kiva.net (Liz Day) Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 13:59:32 -0500 Subject: drying specimens in humid conditions Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.1.20010719135214.00aaabf0@b.pop.kiva.net> Hello all, I'm going to be mounting a lot of big fat moth specimens. The ambient humidity is around 65-85% (including indoors unless I air condition). This is normal for summer here. In these conditions I've found that bumblebees rot before they dry, so big moths probably would too. I decided this could be fixed by putting the specimens in my car sitting in the sun.

Message-ID: Well, it just so happens I am in the middle of a mess like that, so let me reply. I caught a moth new to the United States in Pena Blanca, Arizona in 1989, and could not identify it. Within two years, through the Smithsonian, I had it identified, with the help of experts, as Scoriopsis orsuna (Druce). Unfortunately, Scoriopsis as a genus was taken with priority through ICZN rules by another genus through prior publication naming, so the second genus listing identification took priority. Imagine my disturbance to discover that the second moth genus naming datewise was "Speyeria". Any one with butterfly interests knows that that one was dead in the water until another took priority. I am pleased to say that the British Museum just organized the genus again and it is in their $350.00 book which I haven't purchased yet under another acceptable name. That is the way these things work, and that is why some of us don't publish for 12 years or so after a discovery! >>> Mark Walker 07/19/01 01:32PM >>> Ron Gatrelle wrote: 2) A > transfer of organisms into a new or another genus (or species due to a > change in rank to subspecies) occurs through new evolutionary > understanding.

This is how I put them to sleep after they emerge. The freezing also makes all the fat stick together and it comes out real easy. Which in turn prevents heat from my fingers from smearing grease all over it and me. :-) Of course, freezing also separates the body water from the body oils - which will increase greasing of specimens too.

Some things are true even though they appear totally contradictory. This is because they are mutually exclusive. Systematics, taxonomy, and nomenclature are all one - as an apple's core, meat, and skin are all distinct but irreducibly necessary for there to be apples. (The rules of nomenclature, by the way, are the tracks on which sytematics and it taxonomic cargo run.) So, I disagree with Gochfeld's post earlier in the week that "...taxonomy is only the underpinning." Anyway. Life is seen at three levels - the past, the present and the future. We have deleanated the ancient past, we are definig the present, but I see no taxonomic or nomenclatorial consideration for the future. Perhaps this is why so many seem to move away from subspecies and I am so drawn to them. What will be tomorrow will not arise from the a kingdom, a family, a gunus or a species. It will all arise from the tiny capalary of subspecies. The area where genetic study sees virtually nothing - but where the entire biota of the future is dynamically coming into being. The contradiction. Today's individual subspecific (or specific if mono) epithet as the lowest determinable or recognizable distinctly unique biological entity is immutable. The mutually exclusive. What it evolves into tomorrow will receive a different epithet (name or code or number) this too will be immutable. Why? They are different, that's why. Like steps on a ladder. Now this takes mucho tiempo. Which is why I said in my most recent philosophical post that after millions of years I hope nomenclature will have functioned as a family album full of evolutionary snap shots. Little new born John Rodger Smith III. Then little Johnny at age 10. At 16, JS to anyone who mattered. At 40 Dr. J. Rodger Smith. or Grandpa. Each unique and each the same. If birds came from dinosaurs does that make dinosaurs birds or birds dinosaurs? A taxon is only what it is today - it has a man given identity. As long as it is an X we will always call it an X. When it becomes a Y we will then call it a Y. But even when it is a Y in the now the name X is still the immutable tag for what it was in the past. With W still to come. In time all the adjustments (from finding and adopting the original immutable epithets or from understanding the true evolutionary relationships) will provide an everlasting unchanging nomenclature (by 6240 layered as a time/space record) - not everlasting unchanging organisms. Thus, a seeming contradiction from the mutually exclusive.

As long as one is not a "stamp collector" type - this makes a lot of sense takes up much less space and removes the specimens from the clutches of ants, booklice and dermestids. For drying in the tropics silica gel, freshly roasted, in a sealed tin is essential. There ants and mold are the biggest problems. I am opposed to stuffing because potentially interesting parts are lost. My father did it though for beetles he collected in South Africa, in the early half of the last century. ............Chris Durden At 04:39 PM 7/19/2001 -0500, you wrote: > >You do have a dilemma. > >Yeah.

Not that I necessarily expect it to apply to my situation; I'm just curious. I mean, the whole eastern US is humid and I can't be the only person pinning big bugs. Ron's suggestions for gutting the abdomen are good, but I don't think they'd work for other bugs like beetles and bees. Where does anyone find a dry area between June and September?? Do you all just use silica gel? I suppose you could freeze everything and not mount it til winter when it's dry indoors. Or you could join a health club, and bring your specimens with you into the sauna every day, until the staff noticed and started pestering you to get them some of those cool moths too. But probably people are using other methods. Just wondering.

A few weeks ago I was down in Gainesville, Fl at the Department of Plant Industry doing some research and overheard an involved conversation between some of the Coleoptera (Beetle) guys there about various ways and means of handling DNA. One guy got into the water thing and that "it is the water that deteriorates the --------- in the DNA..." when stored in it. Don't remember the part of the DNA. It was an interesting conversation and I kept getting distracted by it. I have sent specimens to specialists for analysis and just one year old specimens in heavy pdb fumes have had severely damaged DNA.

I've been working with it almost daily for the past 4 years and I've extracted DNA from close to 1000 specimens. First of all, I never cut off the wings and put the body into the freezer, I extract the DNA from two legs (or one if it's a big one), leaving the rest of the specimen unharmed and maximally useful for taxonomic purposes (if necessary!). I store the extracted DNA in the freezer (enough for 50-200 PCRs depending on the freshness of the specimen). As far as I'm aware, water itself has not harmed my extracts. Many of my extracts are from dried specimens that colleagues and friends have sent from around the world. These can be tricky and this is where water can be a problem, through humidity. Specimens stored even briefly in humid conditions are generally useless for DNA work (this obviously applies to specimens relaxed in a humid box for spreading). The reason is most likely that bacteria and fungi (moulds) get into the butterfly and basically have a party, ie eat up anything and everything organic including DNA. I've been thinking of experimenting with different kinds of relaxing procedures to see whether some procedure would be less harmful to DNA, but I haven't had the time yet. As for storing specimens for future possible analysis, I reiterate what Catherine said in a previous post. Keep them frozen (the colder the better). Pure ethanol (70% ethanol is not good enough) is also an option if there is no freezer available. Drying specimens quickly works wonderfully if the specimen will be processed within 1-2 months of being killed. I haven't noticed any effects of the way a butterfly was killed (chloroform is used routinely in DNA extractions, so I can't see why it should destroy DNA) on the quality of DNA. I envision future holotypes of new species having their DNA extracted from a leg or two, with the DNA info complementing the more visible info. With the way things are going now, who knows, maybe in 20 years we will be sequencing the entire genome of new species routinely! I think it is worth preserving tissue (two legs...) from new taxa now, so that in the future, we can get even more information about what these beautiful creatures actually are. My two (euro) cents.

This is just the kind of information we collectors and curators need. I have started labelling specimens I have caught as "killed by pinching and air-dried" as a notice for future researchers that they were not subjected to cyanide, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, ether etc. I would advise other collectors to do the same. How about past use of fumigants in the collection? How does exposure to fumes of carbon disulphide, naphthalene flakes, paradichlorobenzene, dichlorvos. pyrethrum powder, oil of cedarwood etc. affect the stability of DNA in dried specimens. This is really important for conservation of samples of extinct populations like the Xerces Blue. If you are working with lepidopteran DNA, please let us collectors and curators know how to handle the specimens for maximum benefit. .............Chris Durden At 03:34 PM 7/20/2001 +1000, you wrote: >I've never heard that DNA is damaged by water.

Something that has not been mentioned is that there are two kinds of DNA being worked with these days - mitochondrial for work at the specific and population level, and nuclear for higher level phylogentic work. It appears nuclear DNA is not as stable at mitochondrial, and needs to be treated with more care than the mitochondrial stuff. For example, I don't think dried material is of much use for nuclear DNA work. Can anyone confirm, correct or expand on this ????

I know a couple guys who leave stuff on the boards for two weeks. I'm just too impatient, I guess. A couple days and off they come. I use no adsorb materials. and no pesticides in my Cal. Academy drawers. I do use some pesticides in my small Red Wood boxes were I have a lot of my small stuff. We collectors all know the care needed with Styrofoam bottoms - what pesticides do ya'll use in yours. I really like PDB but it can't be used there as it will melt the Styrofoam. I do not like to handle no pest strips. I occasionally spray Raid on the inside of the lid of a Red Wood box and it seems to work. I once sprayed Raid directly on specimens that had book lice get into them and it dried without damaging the specimens.

This is how I have treated Attacus atlas & Coscinocera hercules, the 2 largest moths. Both have very high wax content and there are 2 ways of treating these specimens. 1. Remove the abdomen & soak in dry cleaning liquid overnight. Dispose thoughtfully of the used fluid, replenish the container & immerse the abdomen again. Repeat until there is no more diiscolorisation of the fluid. The discolourisation is due to the wax being leeched from within. (Same process for treating abdomens of Morpho sp. Glue the abdomen back onto the thorax.) 2. This is a bit trickier: Sandwich the wings between 2 lengths of HD setting foam. Place the 'assembly' into a container in such a way as the specimens' abdomen hangs down, with the HD foam resting on the edge of the container. Fill the container with dry cleaning fluid until it reaches the abdomen and a little bit morre. Capillary action will take care of the rest. Replace fluid as descibed in 1. above. This method is used only when removing the abdomen is impractical, but it depends n the species. The smaller the moth the more difficult the task. Works for me!

Several people have mentioned doing this, only with different chemicals - acetone, naptha (a solvent like paint thinner). The only part I'm unclear on is whether to remove and soak the abdomen before the specimen dries, or afterwards. Some say if you do it before, it won't fit back on after the two parts dry separately. Others apparently have no problem. I guess I can try them both.......

Thereafter, maintaining that humidity level is the key. Large variations in humidity can cause the wings to curl and also swing backwards to their natural position. A little bit of clear glue applied to the underside of the wing/thorax joint also helps maintain the set wings and is not apparent to the casual observer.

I generally leave my smaller bodied insects such as blues, coppers, whites, admirals medium sized fritillaries etc on the board for about a week and a half, larger bodied insects such as certain types of swallowtails and large bodied moths sometimes for as long as one month. This may be over doing it but I have never experienced the problem you are having. As well you don't mention what type of climate you live in; a climate of high humidity will surely add to the time required to dry insects sufficiently enough to safely remove them from the spreading board. Remember also that insects left on the spreading board for extended periods of time become more susceptible to critters such as dermisted beetles. Happy collecting, Robert Vandermoor From: "gwang" Subject: Dried Specimens Date: Friday, July 20, 2001 3:24 PM Hi all, Since we all seem to be on the topic of drying/dried specimens these days, I was wondering how others out there keep the wings of their already dried specimens from warping. When my specimens come off the pinning board their wings are perfectly straight, but invariably, after some time, some of the specimens' wings start to warp. I put hydrates in with all of my specimens to adsorb (no that's not a typo, it really is the correct term, as opposed to absorb) any moisture in the air, but it doesn't seem to be working out as I has anticipated. Perhaps I'm taking my specimens off the pinning board a bit to early so that they are actually still in the process of drying when I place them in the specimen drawers? Could this have caused the warping?

In my area of New Jersey it has been very, very humid lately. Previously dried specimens were beginning to relax right in my Cornell drawers. I removed the small boxes of desiccant from my drawers and replaced them with 3" x 6" packs of silica gel. So far, so good. I usually keep my moths on the boards for *at least* two weeks, so I don't think insufficient dry time was the cause. Anyway, the bugs are now fine, so I'm now fine, too. As for getting them to dry in the first place, I'm fortunate to have a very poorly ventilated attic, and I'm keeping it that way. It's become a huge, walk-in drying oven, and it works great. I put together a shelving unit and place everything on it as high as possible (the higher up, the hotter it is). Then, to keep ants away, I spray ant spray around the bottom of the unit. Perfect! So far, not a problem at all. Downstairs, the ants have taken ten years off my life due to the trauma I've suffered through finding only the remains of once beautiful moths on my boards. I spent last summer tracking the b*stards down, through the yard, and to their nest. I exacted swift, harsh revenge on the bandits with ruthless ferocity. (Imagine my neighbors watching me, after midnight, in my dark yard, wearing a head light and on my knees, crawling around, cursing out loud at the ground. No wonder they seem so shy lately). Needless to say, no Formicidae have dared tread upon my domain since. My plane leaves in a few hours for a very early beginning to the LepSoc conference in Corvallis, OR, so I better get a move on. Good luck!

About 20 years ago a friend gave me some really nice home made spreading boards made of Redwood, deep narrow groove, cork pin area - just the right size and structure for little skippers and lycinids which is mostly what I do. One problem, the surface was flat. Everything drooped almost as soon as I took them off. The bottom line is that the ones I spread on the beveled Bio Quip boards end up flat. Perhaps the more humid the area the greater angle needed on the spreading board. Someone could probably come up with an equation :-) On storage. I have taken two drawers out of one of my cabinets and set specimens in there to dry. I have two types of cabinets. Some metal ones I got used from the Allyn Museum when they went to an automated system years ago, and the double row (12 on a side) Bio Quip Cal. Acdmy. Both of these types seal super tight and the commercial drawers are extremely tight too. I never have to use pest deterrents in these as nothing can (has gotten) get in. I do have to watch may specimens in two home made, open front, cabinets that hold 60 Redwood schmitt boxes.

While the abdomen is removed is a good time to relax & set the specimen. When setting, insert a pin horizontally into the thorax from the rear and use it to align the specimen in the setting board channel. When set & dried, just glue the dried abdomen back in place & it's done. Try it on a couple of different species to see what happens. There are lots of things to learn by experimenting this way. If any of the specimens have fern-like antennae,be sure to use a fine, dry paint brush to separate each strand so they look nice & neat. Nothing worse than knotted antennae.

A miserable time for a moth-hunter! Although it has been a good time for all of us to catch-up with reports and insect processing. NEW TRACK FOR ENTOMOLOGISTS Early November will see the opening of a new three day walking track on the Hump Ridge in southeastern Fiordland. Developed and owned by the local Tuatapere community it has cost close to $3 million and consists of two new hut complexes, boardwalks and journeys over three impressive historical viaducts. The Hump Ridge (1067m) is important as a type locality for many beetles and moths collected by Alfred Philpott in the 1910s, so this track system will give not only good walking access to this alpine area but comfortable accommodation at high altitude and extensive views over Waitutu Forest. The track traverses forest, sand dune, shrubland, low alpine, historic features including viaducts and beach in its 55 kilometres. Visit the website www.humpridgetrack.co.nz for information/ bookings on-line and a beautiful landscape. ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NEW ZEALAND ANNUAL CONFERENCE The annual conference was held at Unitec, Auckland in early July and attracted about 90 entomologists from all across the country. This was a special conference being the 50th annual conference for the society - a real milestone. Three of the six surviving foundation members of the society were there - Keith Wise, Roy Harrison and Graeme Ramsay. Two of whom have published on NZ Lepidoptera. Sadly a fourth, Bruce Given, died in Blenheim soon after the conference. A field trip to Matuku Reserve in the Waitakere Ranges proved very interesting with an impressive variety of vegetation types from kauri forest through shrublands to cliff-top grasslands to swampland. Although insects themselves were scarce, their characteristic larval damage was evident everywhere. This was followed by two and a half days of papers, posters, a wine and cheese and an annual dinner. The papers were generally of a higher than normal standard and this was reflected in good attendance figures maintained to the end. Amongst several talks on moths and butterflies, George Gibbs examined the plight of the beech forest ringlet Dodonidia helmsii. His data show that the species has disappeared from many sites it was formerly known from, but still survives at mainly higher altitude sites where it presumably has less pressure from introduced paper wasps. Overall, Auckland Branch organised a very friendly, informative and highly entertaining conference that will be remembered for a long time. Who will forget Robert's poem to open the conference and his acting ability in reenacting the finding of a rare NZ moth, performed at the annual dinner? A masterpiece. It's also interesting that two moth hunters Robert Hoare and myself are presidents of the Auckland and national society respectively. AUTUMN - WINTER INSECTS Wet nights in early May brought out two hepialids in Dunedin in abundance; the Otago ghost moth Aoraia rufivena (wingspan 6-7cm) and the smaller winter ghost moth Cladoxycanus minos. "little log cabin" cases (Psychidae) collected from Matuku (mentioned above) have hatched producing a male and two females. Robert, what is this species? Apterous females cling to the outside of the elegant case. TROPICAL BUTTERFLY HOUSE In early April I visited the Thames Tropical Butterfly House, following the AGM of the Entomological Society of NZ. Roger Gass, from Switzerland, kindly showed me around his two year old complex. He has 400 adult butterflies at any one time flying within a 6m high, 28 x 12m room with wonderful tropical vegetation, waterfall and pond. Heated to 28 degrees C, it is quite impressive, with Asian and South American butterflies imported as adults or pupae. NEW RECORDS Dr Robert Hoare of Landcare Research, Auckland, has prepared an annotated list of about 25? newly discovered, exotic moths and butterflies in New Zealand. His publication, which will hopefully contain coloured images of these new additions to our fauna, is in the refereeing stage. Most of these have appeared, mainly in the Auckland area over the past decade. Three new families of Lepidoptera that do not exist in NZ naturally are reported. TRAVELS In early April I accepted the invitation of Albert Rebergen of DoC in Masterton to visit a natural coastal site east of Wellington that he had discovered. The site, Lake Onoke Spit, has an impressive cushionfield of Pimelea that he thought might harbor Notoreas geometrids. He was spectacularly correct! The brightly coloured moths were so numerous that they could be seen long before he stopped the vehicle along the gravel track. This species, one of many un-named in the genus, is distributed from the lower west Wellington coast to just north of Cape Palliser to the east of Lake Onoke. This is one of the best populations found to date. Red katipo spiders were also found in the dunes under driftwood, with sand tussock, spinifex and pingao nearby. Between Thames and Lake Onoke, I explored several dune systems on the Taranaki (Bell Block), and Manawatu (Himatangi, Foxton and Tangimoana) coasts. It amazes me how much more natural are the dunes of the North Island compared to the sparser populated South Island. Mid-May saw me lead the Otago Botanical Society on a field trip to "Witherow" Island in the Clutha River upstream from the Roxburgh Dam, and newly protected Birch Island in the Clutha River below Beaumont. While the former is dry grassland/ shrubland, and the latter is moist beech forest, both have significant biological value as refugia from the ravages of introduced mammals. A full report has been published in the latest NZ Botanical Society Newsletter, reprinted and shortened from the Otago Botanical Society Newsletter. Late May saw me in Napier for a day conference. I took time to explore two dune systems south of the city; Waimarama and Ocean Beach. Both are worth a look with an array of native plants on an attractive coastline. The latter system is extensive. Between mid June and July I have been keeping warm, but two excursions to the south and west have been made. A weekend in Riverton proved interesting with an exploration of areas that Alfred Philpott collected in - the Riverton dunes. Five days at Te Anau for a management conference gave time to explore Milford and Homer Tunnel in hoar frost conditions. Impressive landscape of ice, rock and rich flora. I grabbed some leaf mines from Hoheria below the tunnel. Also got an adult Declana griseata at light in mid-July! Larval host mistletoe was found nearby on beech. Let me know what you have been doing and I'll pass your news onto others. regards Brian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You do need to check that drifting detritus does not build a bridge. I spent some years doing battle with Technomyrmex albipes, the white-footed ant, and eventually we learned to live in harmony. When I had the wet wood in the roof replaced, alas, my ants went away and the roaches moved back in. Little had I known how lucky I was. The worst of my losses to the ants was a fine skeleton of a baby green anole (found in a disused salad bowl), which I had mounted in a nice frame and displayed proudly on a dollhouse wall. Had I but known, I would have sealed it in plexiglas. Florida is bug country, humid and warm, and unless you're willing to be eternally vigilant and live in a state of armed alert, it is easier not to keep a collection. Last I looked, Palm Beach County is listed as having no butterflies at all, in the official list whose name I forget ... Opler's work. Seems you need a voucher collection, and I tried to persuade folks to get one started, but failed. Mark Jeter, at the Mounts Botanical Garden, was willing to house one, but we never found a collector who wanted to set one up or curate it. So ... if anyone wants to play with that, say Anne sent you.

He flew up and perched upon my flowering bosom, where I could have photographed him, were I quicker-witted, for the Nikon Coolpix 995 has a lens section that will spin to allow self-portraiture, even inverting your picture so that you are as upright as usual. The viewing screen stays where you can see it, of course. Then he flew back to defend his turf ... in vain, for it had obviously been visited, and thoroughly, on or around June 14 and after, by a Peacock, Inachis io. Masses of larvae, the youngest in the second instar; the eldest in the fourth instar and already moving off on their own. All in brown gum boots and starry black mackintoshes. The sight of fifty or so larvae piled on one hairy old nettle leaf is scary. There was also a Gatekeeper, Pyronia tithonus, who was nectaring on a large thistle in full sun, but moved hastily to bramble (in the shade) when he saw that I had my camera, as he had read the book and knew that was supposed to be his favorite tipple. My photographs of him are undistinguished, but the caterpillars came out nicely. The pine martens send their greetings. Sophy is well, though not as lovely and young as once she was, and the twins are handsome and lively. They are, as I write, galloping about over the kitchen.

They have two long tails coming out the back. Only I thought the acid (or whatever) was squirted out the tails. ? They whip the tails around if disturbed. I am rearing a few tiny ones here. They are dark brown and maybe 5 mm long. They sit with their head on the edge of the (cherry) leaf and their tails held together out behind them perfectly straight, pointing in toward the leaf vein. This looks remarkably like a rip in the leaf - the dark area created by the caterpillar looks like the shadow that would be the empty space behind the rip. Even the hole they eat at the leaf edge looks like part of the rip. I've never seen a caterpillar that mimicked a rip. It's cool. Sometimes they curl like a "J" instead; I assume that is supposed to be a bird doodle.

See below. One of the computers affected is Shawn Patterson's. Shawn is the chief organizer for the Mission Butterfly Festival - so all presenters and participants who are expecting to hear from her should NOT OPEN ANY FILES FROM HER UNLESS SHE SPECIFICALLY ASKS YOU TO DO SO and it makes sense!!! I have already received about 6 copies of these from Shawn's computer. The subject line says "VOL DUES". The files include a text file and another type of file - and there was no message in the e-mail. I have tried e-mailing her but have gotten no response. If anyone has Shawn's phone number out there please try to contact her. There is probably a lot of Festival Stuff on her computer that she needs to save. I know that some of the mail lists have a prohibition agains virus alerts - but since this one directly affects leps folks I am using my judgement to warn the folks on these lists.

ID Message-ID: <3B5B488C.5B44@mb.sympatico.ca> Hi all, Just wondering if anyone might know what this caterpillar is. Roughly 2.3 cm in lenght, covered with tufts of hair, 1 pair on each segment of the body. The tufts are black, as is the head, near the head and anal regions, but becomes a light yellowish colour as one moves towards the centre. There is a pair of orange dots on the second last segment, and a continuous orange band running along the sides of the body from the last thoracic segment to the anal segment. The spiracles are white. Found on a plant which doesn't appear to be in the milkweed family, but does nevertheless contain a white milky sap similar to that found in plants of the Asclepiadaceae family.

In that great book, Caterpillars of Eastern Forests, I see two larvae both called "puss" - one is Lagoa, covered with fur, and the other one, which looks like the Swedish picture, is Furcula, with no fur and long tails. In two dif families. *sigh* Book says the tails are "extrusible" but no mention of squirting, so I guess I was wrong.

In a recent post I saw the words Leper and butterflier, So, I went to visit my old friend Webster Dictionary. The word Leper is is there, however, it has nothing to do with Lepidoptera, it is someone with the disease, Leprosy.The word butterflier is not in my 1999 Webster Dictionary. I also looked in the Dictionary of Words used by the late Howard Cosell, was not there either.

MMMMMMMMMM! What does all this mean?

Simply that one cannot rely only on one's trusty Webster's.  No biggie.

While you are at it, the is also a new definition for "cat": "lepidopteran larva, or caterpillar" (the same situation applies here, the word "cat" being used as an abbreviation for "caterpillar").  I guess certain lepidopterists got "light-tongued" and stole the abbreviation from the Caterpillar tractor people..........  :-)

Rare or Endangered? Is there any link between category like: Very common - Common - Very abundant - Abundant - Rare - Very rare - Sporadic and category like: Common - Vulnerable - Threatened - Endangered - Critically Endangered??? The status "special concern", "vulnerable", etc are conservation status categories which have legal or quasi-legal status when it comes to conservation and management. A species may be classified as endangered even if it is locally common, if there are only one or two populations in a state. The other categories: abundance, etc, can be considered categories of relative abundance. We provided a semi-quantitative definition in BUTTERFLIES OF NEW JERSEY (p36). "superabundant" one may find more than 500 individuals in a given place, or a 4JC (fourth of July count) total greater than 2,000" This is all relative: 2000 Cabbage White (Pieris rapae) may not seemlike much, while 2000 swallowtails would generally be accepted as superabundant. Abundant: more than 20 at the right time or place or more than 500 on a 4JC. Common: 5-20 in a day and more than 100 on a 4JC Fairly common 1-4 individuals in a day and more than 10 on a 4JC Uncommon 1-4 individuals several times in a season, but not daily Occasionally common. 5-20 individuals in a day but only a few times in a season. Locally common: "a species that is uncommon, rare or absent in most habitats or locality, but common in its preferred habitat" (or in a few localities). Rare. Not usually seen at any time and place. Fewer than five times in a season and then only one individual at a time. Irruptive: usually rare or absent, but may occasionally become common or abundant. We didn't incude vagrant, accidental, or other terms to describe species that can NEVER be expected but somehow turn up far out of range. In reading these definitions written more than a decade ago, I wonder whether they should be taken seriously or whether they can be applied across species. For instance 10 Harvesters (Feniseca) would be considered abundant in most locations. The final answer: I don't think there is much of a relationship betweenthe conservation status and the relative abundance. I hope that is helpful. M.

The bad news is that I'm not able to head up to Corvalis - where many of you are probably reading this. Another LepSoc meeting that I can't attend. At least I've been in the field for several days. That makes me feel a little better (OK, so a lot better). I wanted to do something completely different on this trip. I took my son along, and we drove all day and night on Friday to arrive in SE AZ. On Saturday morning, July 21, we got up on the eastern side of Tucson, ate some cheese eggs and raisin toast at the local Waffle House, and drove to the remote locations upon Mt. Graham in Graham County. I expected to be the only lep lunatic in the area. How incredibly funny that Hank and SEABA were on the mountain that day as well. I'm sure we passed each other. There's only one road, and we were on it from 9:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. This is an incredible habitat. Like many of the mountain ranges in this part of Arizona, heading upward causes landscape transformation before your very eyes. Before you know it, you're looking to put on a coat. Too bad you didn't think to bring one. Mt. Graham is tall and creates it's own weather. It's monsoon season at this time of the year in AZ - and you can expect rain at some point during virtually every day. But on Mt. Graham, this likelihood is even higher. Clouds form there when there are few others in the sky. On the other hand, during my following days in AZ I have noticed better weather on the mountain than we experienced on Saturday. Oh well. It comes with the territory - especially when you're me (which I am). I am absolutely convinced that I bring precipitation wherever I go. I suppose I should figure out how to put it to better use. In any case, it definitely affected the lep activity on the upper reaches of Mt. Graham. Luckily, morning at the lower elevations brought sufficient sunlight to provide for some good lepping. Then again, when you pick a place like Mt. Graham - you don't really need to see any leps. The floral and geological scenery speaks for themselves. Before heading for the upper reaches, we picked out a great campsite. The camp fee was $10, and of course I didn't bring any change. While walking about the campground soliciting for change for a $20, I ran into a nice couple. I asked if they had change. I was wearing a green fishing vest, and was looking very Forest-Service-like. The man searched his pockets for change. The woman looked at me and mentioned how they had been rained out at the upper campground, and that they were hoping to get a refund. I simply nodded. She mentioned that it was only fair, and I said, "uh huh". And then, with big eyes, she says to me, "Do you work here?". "No, I don't", I replied. "You don't work here and you collect?", she asked in dismay. "Well, yes", I said somewhat apologetically. "You collect, but you don't work here?", she asked again, this time with some degree of alarm. I started to nod again and prepare to defend myself when she added, "How can you collect if you don't work here?". That's when I realized she was pointing at the $20 bill in my hand. "No! No! He's not collecting", interrupted her husband, "he's asking for change". This could only happen to me. I wondered how she knew I was collecting when I had left my net in the car. "You collect?". That's too much. A better response: "Who, me?" He didn't have any change. Neither did anyone else. I stuffed a $5 bill in the camping fee envelope, and determined I'd get it from someone later. When we returned to setup camp, the Mt. Graham rains finally came. We decided we didn't really want to camp in the rain, and so we picked up camp - considered the $5 a suitable donation - and headed for the Ramada Inn at Safford. Nice place, BTW. We had a swim in their indoor pool, I introduced Christian to the wonders of dry sauna, and then we went to the MegaCinema of Safford and watched Jurassic Park III. Father and son. Not caring enough to read any reviews, we decided we enjoyed it.

I offer one caveat to Michael Gochfeld's highly informative and very accurate answer. He's absolutely correct about the definitions. In many cases the distinctions drawn by Goldfeld do not exist. There are two views, the academic, and the view practiced in the field. The views practiced in the field, unfortunately, blur the distinctions he offers. In the vernacular, the average person, and many learned persons who interpret the laws of threatened and endangered, equate rare with endangered. In fact, many classifications, i.e. The Nature Conservancy's classifications, and some regulations use the phrase "rare or threatened/endangered." Therefore, when we field persons use the word "rare" to mean "Not usually seen at any time and place. Fewer than five times in a season and then only one individual at a time." sensu Goldfeld, the regulators assume the species is threatened or endangered. By their official definitions, such is the case. Which means, the distinctions drawn by Goldfeld: "The final answer: I don't think there is much of a relationship betweenthe conservation status and the relative abundance." is interpreted just the opposite for most other people. The distinction I draw is especially important when a person is talking about organisms that are under-sampled for any number or reasons including the inadequacy of the sampling methods (i.e. using black lights for day flying moths). A declaration of an abundant species of moth, which is poorly represented in collections, as being rare could result in the moth being listed as endangered. In Ohio, such a scenerio almost happened when the very learned Roy Rings innocently prepared a list of species, that are rare in collections, for a project on reprentation of specimens in collections in Ohio, only to find the list used by the USFWS as a basis for declaring the same species as endangered. It was very embarrassing for Roy to have to discredit his own list just because someone else misused it. The distinction I draw happened in Michigan when Mo Nielsen innocently provided a listing of species rarely seen in Michigan only to have his list become the central list of endangered species including ephemeral species that do not annually reside in Michigan. It has taken about 10 years to straghten out the missunderstanding in Michigan. Inexcusibly, the burden was on Mo to explain why his listing was wrong, even though he carefully documented all of his assumptions. In both cases, and I'm sure there are others, the confusion came because of the official definition of "rare = threatened/endangered." For these reasons, I no longer use the word "rare," and I encourage others to drop this word from their vocabulary. The word "rare" is so often misinterpreted that I feel it has no precision, no matter the definition. I now use the phrase "infrequently seen," for which there is not official definition, legal or otherwise, thus I am allowed to create my own definition. When you use the word "rare" you are subject to some other person's definition. And it doesn't matter how careful you are to create your own definition. I hope these case histories help answer your questions. The Lepidopterists' Society's annual meeting is in Corvalis, Oregon end of this week, and I hope that many of you will be there. Cheers to all from Columbus, Ohio where it has been punishingly hot, but now it is raining.

This is a general editorial and not directed at Bob in any way. The masses of birders that have come over into lepping have brought their entire vocabulary and way of doing business into this arena - except for one very notable item. My understanding, as a non-birder, is that there are some stiff requirements among birders to insure proper identifications. Top on this list is confirmation of ID by an accompanying person AND expert verification. I often see bogus listings in their unilateral "sightings" of leps. How many of these have now, or will, become dots on maps? No one else present, no vouchers, and usually no pictures. BOY, what an honest and accurate group. ? Can I make an observation? This indicates something more serious to me though. It is that the majority of these folks remain primarily birders, and thus serious about birds and not butterflies. This is evidenced by, and why they are much more lax about, butterfly IDing than for birds. In other words their interest in butterflies is largely a passing fad - something they do on the side while being serious birders. This is evidenced by the _fact_ that a very large number (have now completed their butterfly life list) are now all "flocking" over to prey on the dragonflies. If they were all so honest or accurate, Audubon would not have made any rules relative to identification. So if Audubon doesn't blindly, naively, categorically, trust their own members - and - are so serious about scientific bird accuracy that they are not afraid to "offend" someone by questioning and requiring confirmation of identifications - how much more should requirements and safeguards be placed on these same folks who have now moved over to our leps land? Gosh, this is like a kid going to a neighbor's house where the rules are not so tough. We can go over to leps land and all be instant experts. That is a lot more "fun" than the rigidity of birding. Birding is serious, butterflies are just fun. How many times has someone posted those exact words to me here or in private. Ron, lighten up, butterflying is just fun... we are just having fun... Well, their "fun" is someone else's science. There is plenty of fun in lepping. But not by sacrificing the serious and scientific part of it. IDing and reporting living organisms - as demonstrated by the Audubon rules - is not something to play with. And people wonder why folks like myself or Chris are not big fans of NABA or see a dumbing down of lepidopterology. Further, the NABA names list is not The standardized list of common names. Far from it. Ron PS I forgot to mention that I saw an Ivory Billed Woodpecker in the swamp near my house last week. Yes, I was alone, but what does that have to do with anything. ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From aa6g at aa6g.org Wed Jul 25 16:48:29 2001 From: aa6g at aa6g.org (Chuck Vaughn) Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2001 13:48:29 -0700 Subject: Serious first, fun second. In-Reply-To: <008701c1153e$727f8540$9b0f1218@gscrk1.sc.home.com> Message-ID: Hi Ron, I want to add a couple recent personal experiences that back up the need for voucher specimens and independent verification. This also relates to something else I've read recently and that is the validity of eyewitness reports. Such reports have always been considered the most important evidence in court cases but as we learn more about how human memory works it is beginning to appear that they should be given less importance and scientific evidence should be given priority. I have a friend who has some interest in butterflies and occasionally calls me with a description of something he's seen. The descriptions never match any butterfly native to our region. Somehow he misses the key characteristics necessary even for a guess. Another friend at work has a much greater interest and plants many flowering plants to attract butterflies in his yard and catches and mounts some. Recently he came to work with the news that he had caught an unusual swallowtail. It was almost all black with only remnants of tails. I asked if it could be an Anise Swallowtail (P.zelicaon) and he said it had much more black than that. We got on the internet and went to the Butterflies of North America site and looked at all the swallowtails. He identified it as P. indra. I showed him that there were no confirmed records of P. indra in Santa Clara county and this could be of interest. I wanted to see it so I could confirm it. A few days later he brought it in. Well guess what? It was a beat up P. zelicaon with no tails left. This shows that even people with some experience can mis-id obvious specimens and that id'ing from memory is not very reliable.

Good point Chuck. I agree with you it is highly unlikely Bob saw 85 Lorquin Admirals. I live in the Sierra Nevada foothills not too far from Yosemite and California Sisters are far more common than Lorquin Admirals. These two species so alike that one sometimes has to get up pretty close to them to make a positive ID.

I often see bogus listings in their unilateral "sightings" of leps. Ron, you are correct, but incomplete. I read a daily birding list that consists mostly of reports of sightings just like this. As far as I know, the information posted to the list does not become any kind of official scientific record. Anyone, including beginners who think they saw a condor in their back yard, can post their reports. But the official counts, surveys, and records are not based on internet postings. I would hope that no serious scientific work on leps would be either. >How many of these have now, or will, become dots on maps? As someone who is making maps with dots, I figure that if the map author is careless enough to accept inadequate evidence of a species' presence, the fault is with the author.

These invasions often take the form of simultaneous mass migrations. Today (25 July 2001), such a mass flight was passing through the northern foothills of Tucson. At a point about half a mile south of Sabino Canyon visitor center, I first noticed numbers of K. lyside flying past about 11:00 a.m. MST. Individuals were passing at an estimated rate of 10 - 20 per minute. Abandoning the work I should have been doing, I went out to make some serious counts. Numbers increased rapidly, and during the period from about 11:20 to 11:50, 50 to 100-plus per minute passed across a stretch of hillside about 30 yards wide. Virtually all individuals were flying toward the northeast or east-northeast, a minority stopping briefly at nectar (Lantana, Ageratum, etc.). Most that I counted were within 20 or 30 feet of the ground, but occasional scans with binoculars showed that others were going over much higher, perhaps 100 feet or more, traveling in the same direction. Numbers gradually tapered off after 12:00 but they were still passing at 10 - 20 per minute at 12:30, 1:30, and 2:30 when I checked again. During the peak passage I netted a few dozen for examination and all were in fairly fresh condition or only slightly worn. Checking with a couple of other naturalists by phone, I learned that Carl Englander was seeing similar numbers at a point five miles west and one mile north of where I was (but his were flying north or even north-northwest), while Rick Bowers watched for an extended period at a point twelve miles west of me and saw none at all. Bowers's position was in the flats at some distance away from the mountains, while Englander and I were at the immediate edge of the Santa Catalina Mountains; the concentrations that we saw, as well as the difference in flight directions, could have been explained if the sulphurs had all come in from the south at a fairly high level but were detouring to go around the mountains rather than over them. A little past the peak of the flight, when I stood on a low ridge and looked toward a distant slope, the foreshortened effect through binoculars made it look like a blizzard of creamy-white butterflies was blowing past. Pretty amazing spectacle. Certainly tens of thousands of K. lyside were passing over Tucson today. Anyone doing fieldwork to the north of here during the next couple of weeks should keep an eye out for this species.

The California Sister glides in the B 52 bomber wing configuration too. This is why the Sister and Lorquin's are so difficult for me to tell apart when they are on the wing.

The limenitis flap and glide is the visual image I have. Of course this is reinforced by eastern species I continue to see. So what do we have here? Bob, Paul, Chuck, myself a group of individuals who each thinks they know want they are talking about - and in reality are each qualified to "know". All this actually proves in Chuck's point that the only sure way for _everyone_ to know is to have either a voucher specimen or photograph. I recently posted a record on the carolina leps site for a new North Carolina state record of Erynnis lucilius. I would not accept this one by the "word" of _anyone_ including myself. Which is why I 1) collected the specimen, 2) examined the genitalia, 3) compared it to figures of spread specimens in full view butterfly books, and 4) with reared individuals in my collection from West Virginia (reared by Tom Allen). Now, even with all this, I want to go back and find some more to make 200% sure. (Of course in Yosmite one can not collect without a permit - but pictures are an option.)

Alexander Smith (author of several mushroom books) was accused of not being a real mycologist because he didn't eat the mushrooms he studied, while he accused those who did of being chronically under their influence. Les Short (AMNH Ornithologist) said he always tried to eat the birds he collected. Som do Monarchs really taste worse than Viceroys? I'm sure someone must have rendered a formal opinion.

Even the reliance on hosts can be uncertain. Harry Pavulaan once mentioned that Wild Indigo Duskywings (E. baptisiae) have been raised on Columbines. I certainly hope that E. lucilius doesn't use Crown Vetch since we assume that ALL duskywings seen around Crown Vetch (and there are often hundreds) are E. baptisiae. In my view this is an impossible field id (and also photo id), and may not be representative of other problem ids. The key to what Ron wrote is "everyone". I think that individual's can develop field ID skills that leave them with no doubt as Bob Thomas indicated. I was afield once with Art Shapiro and was impressed that he id's everyting on the wing in that millisecond before he swung his net. And there was a time when even bird identifications weren't accepted unless "made over the barrel of a shotgun".

Are brightly coloured butterflies actually bad tasting? There have of course been some studies using birds as the innocent tasters, but such experiments require quite some infrastructure. What about the human sense of taste? Even if human taste is not quite representative of for example bird taste or even less representative of spider or predatory bug taste, wouldn't it give us some idea of the palatability of the butterflies? For instance, a colleague of mine recently told me that he tasted an adult Melitaea athalia (heath fritillary) just on the spur of the moment, and it apparently tasted really bitter and bad (in his own words "It is utterly and horribly bitter, like some relly BAD German liquor"). I've never gathered up the courage to taste my study subjects (the checkerspot butterflies), even though I assume they are bad tasting based on work done by Deane Bowers in the early '80s on a couple of species of Euphydryas. Perhaps I should start tasting?? Satyrines for instance are always assumed to be tasty to birds and they eat them with apparent relish in cages. But are they really tasty (or perhaps tasteless)? Has anybody on this list tasted any butterflies? If you have, I would be very interested to hear about your experience!

Yes, but those incorrect identifications can be corrected, even if the taxonomy changes. An erroneous visual ID will always be hearsay. Score one for independent verification : ) By necessity, insect collections whether they be personal or institutional, are always in the act of becoming -- becoming prepared, becoming labeled, becoming identified, becoming curated and most recently, becoming databased. One of the things I truly enjoy about aggregations of lepidopterists is that whenever they get together they help each other identify their material. One of the differences between experts and non-experts is that an expert knows when they cannot positively identify a specimen themselves and who is the best expert to send it to to get a positive ID. Some experts can even tell you at a glance that they have seen that species before but it hasn't been described yet. So many bugs, so little time!

I can think of at least two more things that happen to collections besides being ...data based. They get eaten by moths and dermestids if not intensely curated and protected. They get dispersed when their owner dies or loses interest. And perhaps in the future they get dispersed when their institution loses interest in the real reality. I've previously mentioned that Stanford gave away the David Starr Jordan fish collection (they probably would have sold it if Cal Academy hadn't taken it). Princeton got rid of its famous paleontology collection (fortunately Yale Peabody took it). After all real biologists needed that space. Oberlin gave up its herbarium, and even Rutgers hasn't figured out how or even whether to permanently house its herbarium so it's been inaccessible for months. Collections aren't forever if there isn't committment (and some investment) in curating. [I hear that the same paragraph could have been written about art and anthropologic collections].

And this is NOT meant to be "an attack," but a cautionary observation that even the most proficient and well-known Yale graduated PhDs CAN disseminate erroneous information, despite their credentials (!) In his book, "Handbook for Butterfly Watchers," there is a drawing of five chrysalids, ALL of which are incorrectly IDed...no doubt, the result of editing. Likewise, in the Stokes book, "The Butterfly Guide," a Viceroy chrysalis is misidentified as a "Red Spotted Purple..." These are both examples of books written for the general public... Which just goes to show: everyone is fallible, even the "experts." Nobody can "do it all" without making mistakes, as these examples represent. The best teacher is "personal experience and observation," which is why science is constantly "in flux" with new discoveries...be it amateur or professional. There is nothing "wrong" in questioning the experts/professionals... it keeps them on their toes and forces them to maintain their grounding in the reality of human fallibility. We all need the input of others to keep things interesting and push us to higher levels of understanding and knowledge...which should be a life-long process. Smug complacency is the "death" of our existence...challenge to our presumptuous status quo is our "life force." M.B.

For me, it was interesting to learn that not all of the antipredator toxins in a butterfly are in its body. I'll admit, I don't feel like eating the squishy parts. However, I'm not above eating a wing or two. So, a few years back, I started sampling the wings of butterflies that, for example, were accidentally killed by the rim of my net. The only species I tried that was truly revulsive was the Mustard White (Pieris oleracea). It's wings taste the way a pentatomid stink bug smells. The Cabbage White (P. rapae) has none of this taste, in my experience, probably a consequence of its cultivated foodplants here in Edmonton. Most butterfly wings that I can remember (P. rapae, Speyeria sp., Cercyonis pegala) taste a bit like oily rice paper (not that I've ever tasted oily rice paper-- but at the time that's the image that came to mind). I do hope that this helps.

Frequently there are androconial odors that can be recognized, remembered and compared between close species, and on occasion recognized before the insect is observed. There is also the blood odor of a pinched specimen. This can be quite strikingly different between closely related species such as *Speyeria zerene* s.l. and *Speyeria coronis* s.l. Even more remarkable is the blood smell of morphological intermediates between these two, suggesting that they may indeed be natural hybrids. Most of these observations were made in southern Montana. In Central and South America, different species of *Heliconius* have characteristic blood odors. This unfortunately is the limit of my chemical expertise. ..............Chris Durden At 02:06 PM 7/26/2001 +0200, you wrote: >At 06:50 2001.07.26 -0400, Michael Gochfeld wrote: > >>Som do Monarchs really taste worse than Viceroys?

Now that is a lot better that lepers, don't you think? Any way. Before everyone rushes out to chew the fat, I would encourage anyone who has allergies to be careful. The birds that throw up after ingesting monarchs do that for a reason - it is more than not tasting good - they are "toxic". I have every now and then caught a butterfly (big or small) that I did not want to kill but just examine. Then just after netting it or just getting it out of the net saw another that I either wanted to collect or examine too. Not having three hands, I have employed my lips to ever so gently hold the specimen by the hard margin (costal) of its wings while dealing with the other specimen(s). This year I have been examining a lot of Tiger Swallowtails in the NC mountains to gather field info on the undescribed entity there for those who are working on it. On one occasion, almost immediately after releasing an undescribed from my mouth, I noticed a mild irritation in my throat. This lasted for several hours. I assumed I had breathed in a few of its scales. As a person who has to take some type of antihistamine every time before I do into the field (or at the end of the day have massive sinus/headache problems) There was something about or on the wings of this Tiger that my throat did not like. Ron PS Here is an example of where a common name (Tiger) is the only one available as the scientific individual epithet has not been given.

Or, one more, this one by the Detroit Red Wings' coach Jacques Demers in 1987 about two weeks after he took over the team which had previously floundered hopelessly and totally without discipline in last place. It seems that a veteran defenceman had made a careless mistake in the last minute of the third period in a tie game, gave up a goal and the Wings lost the game. Everyone was "used to it". Demers, when asked whether the player would have a chance to think about his mistake, said something like this: "Oh, yah, eeee gonna tink about it a lot, eeee gonna ava lotta time to tink about it wen eeee wake up tomorro mornin in Peoria."

I took a latin course several years ago (when I was in grade 9), and I think people who spoke classical latin used the latter pronounciation, but that seems not to be the pronounciation of choice these days.

Are brightly coloured butterflies actually bad tasting? There have of course been some studies using birds as the innocent tasters, but such experiments require quite some infrastructure. What about the human sense of taste? Even if human taste is not quite representative of for example bird taste or even less representative of spider or predatory bug taste, wouldn't it give us some idea of the palatability of the butterflies? For instance, a colleague of mine recently told me that he tasted an adult Melitaea athalia (heath fritillary) just on the spur of the moment, and it apparently tasted really bitter and bad (in his own words "It is utterly and horribly bitter, like some relly BAD German liquor"). I've never gathered up the courage to taste my study subjects (the checkerspot butterflies), even though I assume they are bad tasting based on work done by Deane Bowers in the early '80s on a couple of species of Euphydryas. Perhaps I should start tasting?? Satyrines for instance are always assumed to be tasty to birds and they eat them with apparent relish in cages. But are they really tasty (or perhaps tasteless)? Has anybody on this list tasted any butterflies? If you have, I would be very interested to hear about your experience!

I suppose that with the increased usage of common names the correct (technical) ones are not heard to much any more. Many years ago I had the privilege of meeting and spending some time in the field with Dr A. E. Brower. His son lived in Savannah GA and was a friend of my friend Dr. R. T. Arbogast. Brower was one of the top moth experts in the country. He wrote the 1968 updated version of Holland's classic Moth Book. Brower came up here to Charleston for day of collecting while on a visit to his son in Savannah (Brower was a resident of Maine). He was especially interested in a spot where I had found some Underwing Moths - Catocala. This genus was one of his specialties. Now Brower was well up in years when we met and I was immediately taken by the trouble I had keeping up with him - he walked at a joggers pace. Before I met Dr. Brower, and afterward, I had/have only heard Catocala pronounce as - Ka tock a la. - Brower pronounced it Cat o call a . We had corresponded before we met and "Catocala" was of course written by him in his letters - but I pronounced it my way as I read it. That day in the field he immediately corrected me and said, "it is Cat o call a not Ka tock a la." My suspicion all these years is that his pronunciation is the correct one and all the rest of us have it wrong. If I recall he was near 80 when we met. I never heard him use a common name and when we corresponded and exchanged specimens he also only used the scientific names for butterflies and moths. I am sure if I go back and dig out the old letters from Clench, dos Passos, Gray & others we rarely (if ever) used common names in our letters. How times have changed in the last 30 years. I pronounce ae as a hard A as in ate.

A few years ago I had to expedite the relaxing of a batch of Ornithoptera (birdwings), prior to setting. As time was short, instead of relaxing them for a day or so, I started to inject them with hot water. Hot water was placed in a coffee mug, water then drawn up into the syringe, needle attached, hold the specimen over the mug & insert the needle into the "chest" of the thorax and commence injecting. Excess water then flows from the body orifices and drops down into the mug. Repeat a few times until the wings start to relax, refilling the syringe for each specimen (10cc's). Very simple & straightforward . . . . . except I do tend to be a bit oblivious to my surroundings when in deep concentration, for I was also sipping my coffee from a mug identical to that in which the hot water was held. Yes, you're right, while momentarily distracted, I picked up the wrong mug & took a rather large sip! Oooh yuk, ftpooee. Birdwing Soup! It will never make the Menu, I can assure you. Tastes like p*ss!

Even other insects go for the meatie bodies, not the wings (!) The wings are comprised of hairs and membranes, and I don't know ANY human being that relishes stray mammalian hairs found in their meals. It's the body that posesses the major nutritional components of the insect, not the wings. Who in their right mind would want to ingest a "hairy membrane?" Methinks this bespeaks of a correlation of butterfly wings with flower petals and "candied violets" as opposed to their actual imbued composition. I recently had a child challenge me to eat a chrysalis. I told him I'd do it if he could bet me a $100 to do so... Naturally, he balked. But I'm still open to the bet!!!! I'd be willing to sample anything in the brassicus or fruit-tree raised butterfly species...but only their bodies, not their wings. I've eaten Escargot and sauteed, newly emerged Cicadas (which tasted like freshly "cut grass" to my discerning palate...), so I'm open to "unusual culinary experiences." As for the debate on Latin pronunciation: I studied classical Latin in high school, also "just a few years ago..." (tee-hee), and I was taught the pronunciation for "ae" was a long "i." However, when I studied systematics in college, the "ae" was pronounced like a long "e" in every class I took, regardless of who was teaching it. Anything ending in an "eae" was pronounced like TWO long "e's." Go figure! Mary Beth Prondzinski ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Thus, the wings can serve an antipredator function if they contain toxins. As for Latin, there are many systems for Latin pronunciation, and they do not all agree on things like "ae." This, in part, is why biologists in general, and the ICZN in particular, do not endorse any one system.

In the last two days I've received the following two e-mails about severe toxic eye reactions of three different people who handled milkweed plants or monarch butterfly chrysalids (names of the blinded people have been witheld for privacy reasons). Now imagine what could have happened if they had eaten the milkweed leaves or monarch chrysalids! Hi Paul, I, too, have had terrible problems with milkweed and my eyes. Last year one of my eyes was swollen shut for three days. It gradually stopped burning and returned to normal. I wear gloves or wash about a hundred times a day!! I can handle pupae and my eyes start to itch and I know if I touch my eyes I've had it! Now, my husband is a different story. He was in the greenhouse cutting when it happened. Some of the sap flipped up into his eye. Direct hit, undiluted sap. It's going on two weeks of lost vision. The redness is better on the white of his eye and the cornea is almost grown completely back. But the swelling they can't get to go down is causing loss of vision. The eye specialists are shaking their heads and won't even comment. They don't know anything about milkweed, of course. ================================================== Hi Paul, I've gotten milkweed in my eye dozens of times, and it is awful. Each time, I nearly lose my vision for about 2 days...everything looks as though I'm seeing through a cloud of steam. I always recover, but I always worry if I'm doing permanent damage. Even if I am very careful not to touch my eyes and wash my hands when handling milkweed, I may still get this vision thing every few weeks.I suspect it can come even from opening a box of caterpillars that is warm and somewhat humid...the fumes of the milkweed hitting the eyes. ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From mothman at belizemail.net Fri Jul 27 14:49:05 2001 From: mothman at belizemail.net (Matthew Barnes) Date: 27 Jul 2001 11:49:05 -0700 Subject: unknown neotropical moth(s) - URL correction Message-ID: The correct URL to locate the two unknown neotropical moths is http://members.fortunecity.com/belizemoths/images7/mysterymoths.jpg Apologies Matthew Barnes mothman at belizemail.net ------------------------------------------------------------ For subscription and related information about LEPS-L visit: http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/lepsl From gatrelle at tils-ttr.org Fri Jul 27 16:10:09 2001 From: gatrelle at tils-ttr.org (Ron Gatrelle) Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 16:10:09 -0400 Subject: Eating Leps References: <20010727.104520.-168899.1.mbpi@juno.com> Message-ID: <009b01c116d8$23a2bfa0$9b0f1218@gscrk1.sc.home.com> ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 11:45 AM Subject: Re: Eating Leps many hairy snips > As for the debate on Latin pronunciation: I studied classical Latin in > high school, also "just a few years ago..."

But what I really want to know is why all the common names are pronounced so differently in Boston? By the way, old Charlestonian pronunciations are very similar to that of old Boston.

The volume you swept out (fast or slow) is constant (=cross section area * distance traveled). You caught 5 butterflies per that volume. You now have an estimate of the butterfly density per volume at car height. Imagine you carry a larger net, one the size of the road itself. You now have another estimate of the butterfly/volume density, 75/volume of the road (thinking of the road as a tunnel of whatever height you could observe.

We just have to do our research. Don Borror was an expert on the subject. He taught classes and wrote the book referenced by Jane Dillonaire. I have copies of several editions of his class notes that were the basis for the book. If you want to talk about pronounciation, you have to have a copy of Don's book. It is still available and inexpensive. In the meantime, we have to remember two things. FIRST of all, scientific words are latinized, they are not necessarily Latin. For example, a species named after Bethune as bethunei does not become "beh thu neee iii." It is "beh thune i." It is Bethune's name with a long i on the end. We don't change Bethune's name just because we latinized it. On the other hand, some words, like Patricia, are Latin words and need no modification in spelling nor pronounciation. A copy of good Latin dictionary is very helpful for learning these things. Also, Borror makes a point of stressing the root of the word when trying to understand the pronounciation. Many of the scientific words were created from Greek roots, thus their pronounciation relies on knowledge of Greek. As all of us try to apply our high school and college Latin to scientific names, we will not know the answers until we know the roots of the words, and from whence they came. So, add a good Greek dictionary to your list of books to buy. For names from Russian, add a Russian dictionary. You get the idea. Until the early 20th century, and much later for experts like Borror and Franclemont, knowledge of Greek and Latin roots was required for persons who coined a scientific name. These subjects were commonly taught. These guys knew what they were talking about. If you look at many of Grote's descriptions, he even gives the scientific name in Greek as well as Latin. Secondly, Look at different pronounciations of the same word. People in "Deh troit" Michigan bristle at persons who say "DEEE troit," and try to get by saying "Orrr eee gahn" in the state of "Ore eh gun." So, for common words, like the dae ending of animal family names, or the aceae ending of family plant names, Borror is the undisputed authority. For all others, whether "Cat ah ca lla" or "Cat OH cay lah," you have to know the roots and the correct combinations. Everything else is just guessing.

They are about a nomenclature of word-terms that are latinizations, and even Latin and Greek hybrids. So all the terms are corruptions - a scientific Tbonics if you will. The code is more concerned with gender agreements and not with letters, syllables, sounds etc. One can just make up a word and it would work - sockittoum for example. Now it discourages frivolous or vulgar epithets, but the options of word creations are pretty wide.

Smith, in _Vascular Plant Families_ (1977), says the following stuff, and refers readers to a 1966 500-page book on botanical latin by a W.T. Stearn, that I gather he got it from. (There is also an amusing paragraph about the differences of opinion that exist on pronunciation. Not being any kind of expert, I wouldn't know.) (Stuff related to things people have asked:) "The letters J, U, and W did not occur in the classical [Latin] alphabet. Some ... insist, for instance, that _Castilleja_ should be spelled _Castilleia_." "The dipthongs ae and oe have the sound [of a long e]." "The consonants c and g are soft (have the sounds "s" and "j") if they are followed by ae, e, i, oe, or y. Otherwise, c is pronounced as "k" and the g is hard...." "An x [at the beginning of a word] is pronounced as a "z", not "ek-z". Nothing in there gives any guidance to saying "catocala". Since an actual catocala just entered the room, I will leave this to Borror and get off the machine now. cheers, Liz ------------------------------------------------------------- Liz Day Indianapolis, Indiana, central USA (40 N, ~86 W) Home of budgerigar Tweeter and the beautiful pink inchworm (Eupithecia miserulata).

Church Latin differed from Legal Latin, differed from Classicists' Latin, differed from Scientific (Biologists') Latin. Latin became the language of commerce with the expansion of the Roman Empire a little over 2k years ago. Before that the common language of commerce was Greek. The Roman Empire lingered on culturally long after the fall of Rome. The Roman Catholic Church only recently stopped using Latin in general services. A Latin diagnosis is still needed for proper publication of a new botanical taxon. Latin was used to publish entomological papers as late as 1910 in South Africa and as late as the 1950's in Finland. I have always used (my understanding of) a generic "European" pronunciation for entomological Latin. I always pronounced *Erebia* as Eh-re-bi-a as if it was named after Mount Erebus until in 1957 at the 10th International Entomological Congress, I heard Klots, dos Passos and Forbes talking about Eh-ree-bee-ya. I have since heard French and Italian entomologists use the former pronunciation. Which is correct? As long as we can spell the name and understand what we are talking about both are! After all, who (other than scholars of Greek) "speaks" Latin anymore? We should have respect for diversity. It is possible and useful that a Norwegian, a Singaporean and an Indian can talk together about Science, in English and understand each other. This is functionally no different from a 10th Century Viking, a Venetian navigator and an Irish priest talking together in Latin. Let us value both Latin and English as languages for international communication since Esperanto has apparently not been generally accepted. I expect Chinese will be the next international language - are you learning yet? I usually hear the plant family as Eri-casey. Then there is See-no-nim-fa, Fie-see-oh-dees etc. ...................Chris Durden At 06:14 PM 7/27/2001 -0500, you wrote: >When I listen to plant people, they seem to pronounce "eae" as "ee-ee".

It's been awhile. The Borror book is: Dictionary of word roots and combining forms. copyright by Borror in 1960. The eleventh printing was in 1971, and was available in paperback from Mayfield Publishing Company in Palo Alto California in the early 1970's for less than $10.00 If you cannot find it at Amazon, you might try www.abebooks.com ABE books is one of the best places to look for used books in the World. Last time I looked, ABE books had listing of nearly 1,000 books on Lepidoptera, butterflies, and moths. ABE represents all your favorite dealers, such as Classey, and a host of other dealers you'd never find on your own. I acquired some of Borror's class handouts from some of his former students here at OSU in Columbus.

Message-ID: All: NABA has revised the common name of Limenitis arthemis astyanax to "Red-spotted Admiral". I presume this was done in the name of standardizing genus names. Thus, all Limenitis (correctly Basilarchia?) are now "Admirals". However, I wonder how many newcomers will now confuse Red Admirals with Red-spotted Admirals? People cry about stability in names, but now this will certainly confuse newcomers who still see the name "Red-spotted Purple" in their guides but are being told that's not correct (I would have suggested "Blue Admiral" for astyanax). Now, Red Admirals will certainly need to be changed to "Red Ladies" to comply with standardization. Viceroys will need to be known as "Viceroy Admirals" Similarly, Fixsenia favonius ontario, traditionally called the "Northern Hairstreak" was changed to "Southern Hairstreak", thus stripped of it's subspecific distinction from F. favonius favonius. Now it's the "Oak Hairstreak" because it uses Oak. I seem to recall that a great number of Hairstreaks also use oak...exclusively, like Edwards' Hairstreak! What's a lepidopterist to do? I consider all of these new NABA common names just that: NABA common-names. Nobody, especially anyone posting names on the various discussion groups, is obliged to use these names outside of NABA activities. There is no formally established international system for common names, as there is with scientific names. For me, tradional useage prevails, and there will always be a Northern Hairstreak, Red-spotted Purple and Olive Hairstreak. My library of guides say so. Taxonomists just want to have fun.

However, I wonder how many newcomers will now confuse Red > Admirals with Red-spotted Admirals? My comments are not meant as a defense of NABA (their latest checklist strikes me as a step backwards in many ways) but as a clarification. I just looked at the list, and actually they apply the name "Red-spotted Admiral" only to Limenitis arthemis in a larger sense. They continue to apply "Red-spotted Purple" to L. a. astyanax, and "White Admiral" to L. a. arthemis. Not stated, but presumed, I suppose, is that L. a. rubrofasciata would also be a White Admiral, and L. a. arizonensis would also be a Red-spotted Purple, under this system. In practice, the name "Red-spotted Admiral" wouldn't apply to anything we would see in the field or in the trays. The problem with having such a name at all is that birders coming into "butterflying" bring along a prejudice against using English names for subspecies, and they may think it's "correct" to use the larger group name for anything in this complex that they see. --- Anyone on this list who has influence at NABA might suggest that their members be encouraged to continue to use the more precise names for these taxa, and to not use "Red-spotted Admiral" at all.

My brother is a Classics professor, and has told me that he gets an amazingly wide range of pronunciations going through ... but nobody knows how Romans pronounced their language, and there were of course many regional differences, as there are in English now. Latin, as the universal language of science, commerce and religion, had changed a good bit at the point where Linnaeus (whose common name was Linne) created order out of chaos. Therefore, we should be using the Latin handed down by the Church, probably with a Swedish accent (out of respect). (Excuse me a minute; I must just talk to this wren on the window sill.) The Ericaceae therefore, are pronounced eh-rih-Kay-see-ay. Ae is a long-a sound. The accent goes on the antepenultimate syllable, of course. Next to next to last. In this case, the Kay. Leave it to Latin to *expect* more than three syllables in a word. If you are from Boston, you will not sound the way I do when you pronounce these syllables. It really doesn't matter, either. I, having had 12 years of Latin before I left high school, pronounce scientific names with elegance and ease, as the Holy Mother Church taught me. I can rip through them syllables as to the manor born. I have forgotten all the grammar, let alone the declensions and conjugations, but by golly I can pronounce the hell out of it. The C is sometimes a K sound; sometimes an S, according to the vowels it hangs with, just as in English. When "I" makes a consonant sort of sound (Y), we spell it with a J now; that's where we get Julius. The damnedest things happen to that letter J, according to what language is using it; you must have noticed. The trick is to sound sure. Thus, even if you are mispronouncing everything you say, others will quail and imitate you. I think Ron and I are on the same page in this one.

Maybe he pronounced it Julius and that has just been repeated over the centuries. Maybe the position of the letter influences the way it is pronounced. You can look at other languages too, for example there is Mayor Giuliani in New York. There must have been some historical precedent for that pronunciation. Then there is that butterfly that a friend of mine always calls an Orange Julius - is it Julia or Iulia. The name in the guide books used to be *Dryas julia*. The name in the current guide books is now *Dryas iulia* because that is the way it was spelt in the first description.

I've been to west Texas and Arizona on a collecting trip and found the thread of dried specimens, drooping, and storage problems. I was employed for a numbers of years and times with The Interior Steel Equipment Co., a manufacture of steel cabinets for the storage of museum collections (The product line is now manufactured by the Viking Cabinet Co., Chicago, IL). I was part of the management team that designed and developed manufacturing techniques to produce the finest cabinets in the world. Being a Lepidopterist, I solved all of the problems you have with the use of these steel cabinets. I now own two double door 48 drawer cabinets, ten single door 24 drawer cabinets and two single door 11 drawer cabinets. These are air tight/light tight cabinets. (It has been said that you could fart in one of these cabinets, immediately close the door, open it 50 years later and still smell the fart!) I also developed a metal container to hold 3 OZ of PDB with a magnetic strip to hold it to the door. I place PDB once every six months in each cabinet and I have NEVER had a problem with dermestids. I also use a larger container of the same type for a desiccant. I replace the desiccant every other month. I also have a museum cabinet with shelves which will hold approximately 200 spreading broads and the small amount of dried papered material that I may have. I leave spread material on boards over a month. I NEVER leave any material, spread on boards, in process specimens or mounted specimens out side of a cabinet. Only when I am working on specimens are they out of the cabinets. I store papered material in a freezer. When I do receive papered material from other Lepidopterists, I put it in my freezer for a month to kill any dermestids. To help in wing positioning, I cut the wing muscles of most skippers and larger moths. I degrease with either. I use cyanide as my killing agent. I learned these techniques from the late Harry Clench and J.F.Gates Clark. I have used them for over 30 years. Maintaining a collection is a serious matter to me. My current collections is 25 years in process. I travel around the country collecting material, it is a serious financial matter. I protect my collection in high quality drawers (I make my drawers from BioQuip kits) and cabinets. I occasionally find a specimen that has drooping wings. I simply relax the specimen, cut the wing muscles and remount it. Unfortunately, I started mounting specimens on seamstress pins as a young boy. I mounted over 30,000 specimens before I learned about insect pins. I mounted another 15,000 before changing over to insect pins in 1981. I have since remounted about 20,000 specimens onto insect pins. The remaining specimens were given away or donated to a museum. I still have another 3,000 specimens to remount. I based my remounting on the quality and scientific value of the specimen. I will need another cabinet next year. I will purchase a quality airtight/light tight cabinet. I may even try a little test of time! Cheers, Leroy C.

Why should it disturb you so much that NABA and its chapters seeks to interest birders (and photographers, and gardeners, and school children, and just plain folks - most perhaps without your education in this field) in the fascinating world of butterflies? Do you really feel that only academics and "professionals" have a right to be interested in lepidoptery? Nobody minds that you are "in it only for the science". We respect that and thank you for adding to our knowledge. But why should you mind so very much what is just a way of communicating among those of us without your scientific training? It's a big world out there. Many folks - many points of view. If you disagree, fine - but it would be nice if you were not so quick to condemn. It adds nothing to the discussion. Guess what. Many of us great unwashed are also getting interested in odonata. Will (gasp) beetles be next? And what if we learn to key out plants?

Think of all the money generated by the sales of "butterfly binoculars", field guides, accessories, etc., and travel dollars that they bring to the table. You don't think the Texas Butterfly Festival is put on by the Mission, TX Chamber of Commerce only because it's a fun event, do you? Heck, if someone wanted to give you money to show them to a new butterfly species for their life list, would you turn it down? If yes, why? On the brighter side of the issue, however, is what the birders can bring to the table - 1) new blood to the field (from the sound of many of the postings on this list, there are not many younger people studying butterflies in the field), 2) A huge increase in the numbers of people seeing things out in the field (yeah, there are bound to be some incorrect reports, but that is far outweighed by the potential of finding new sites, etc.), 3) The potential of backing by public and private groups that have heretofore been advocates for land acquisition, conservation, etc., for bird species (they fence off Piping Plover nesting areas, but are the host plants for a critical butterfly species protected? Not in my state.) Rather than moan and complain about it, the "traditional" butterfly community should embrace the good points, try and educate the new people, and ultimately roll with the changes to make the best of them. Yes, it may ultimately be a fad and the birders will lose interest and go away, but I rather doubt it. Since the turn of the century, the ornithological community has changed from a collector-based discipline to using field sightings, catch-sample-and-release techniques, and minimally-invasive laboratory study. Specimens are still taken, but at a fraction of the former rates. Maybe in the future we will be able to catch a butterfly, take a tiny portion of organic material, run a full-scale genetic analysis on it, and release it unharmed.

Money as a motive and then a corrupter is such a big topic with me because of all the greed in the church world - Do they still sell bibles in Christian bookstores? (My wife works part time at one. I at times tell her to just quit.) I think Alex and I come from the same point of view. I don't think people like he and I are against any of the very _potentially_ positive things the birders are bringing to the area of the broad multifaceted world of interest in Lepidoptera. It is what is being destroyed (in our view) of the scientific aspect of it. And to me, the biggest part of what I mean by scientific is the preservation of them via biological and taxonomic information on them. By lumping all the aphrodites into one Aphrodite destroys the existent knowledge - there are several Aphrodites - some much scarcer than others. This knowledge was once in every Field Guide and state/regional book published _ for new and average lepsters_ till the dumbed down could-be-written-by-anybody ones started coming out. There are as many subspecies found in my kid's Little Golden Book of butterflies - and it only cost $3. Many of today's Field Guides are raped versions of Klots, Dornfield, Grath/Tilden, Higgins/Riley and on and on. They are gooooood money makers though. There is a reason I do not own one single Glassberg book. I agree with Alex, and challenge those in the east who do not have the old Klots book to get one and use it for just one season. While some areas are definately out of date, one might be surprised how ofen it would become consulted along with Harris, Allen, Gochfeld, Brock, Klassen, Heitzman, Neilsen, Emmel, and then one would be led naturally to Jordan & Rothschild, Scudder, Seitz, Blaint, deeper and deeper. Next, there is no comparison to be made between _birds and Lepidoptera_ in many many areas. For example, I can not say "between birds and butterflies" as that would be inaccurate. The equivalent would be "between birds_ and _butterflies, moths and skippers." It is dumbed down immediately when one says "birder - butterflyer". Thus, when I say there is no comparison between birds and Lepidoptera - I am not trying to be smart, elitist, scientific, or any such thing in using the word Lepidoptera. It's just accurate. For one (be they professional or avocational) to say "I am a birder" is exactly the same as saying "I am an Ornithologist" as nothing is left out. Because Lepidoptera are butterflies, skippers and moths I can not say I am a butterflyer because most of my interest is in skippers. We have had no problem calling ourselves lepidopterists for a couple centuries. I don't mind the terms lepster or lepper as a slang, but butterflyer is way off base - unless that is all that one is. A moth-er, skipper-er, or butterfly-er. Requireing a birder to call himself such represents him fine. Asking a moth-er to call theirself a butterflyer would be a big deal to the moth-er. The very fact that many cross over birders probably don't see why - says it all.

Philip Brasher ARLINGTON, Va. -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was cited as saying Tuesday that Bt corn that is genetically engineered to make its own pesticide poses little risk to monarch butterflies, and that while there is a small chance that one in 100,000 monarch caterpillars could be affected by toxic corn pollen, research suggests even those larvae will mature into healthy butterflies. Zig Vaituzis, an EPA scientist who led a review of the crop's environmental impact, was quoted as saying, "The weight of evidence from the reviewed data indicate that there is no unreasonable hazard" to Monarchs or other wildlife although one possible exception is the karner blue butterfly, an endangered species that feeds on lupine plants that could show up near corn crops in northern Wisconsin. Agency officials were cited as saying they don't know how significant the issue is but were consulting with the Fish and Wildlife Service on whether to take action to protect the butterflies. The story recounts that Bt corn grabbed worldwide attention in 1999 after a laboratory study at Cornell University showed that pollen from the corn would poison monarch larvae. That finding produced a public outcry in Europe and calls from environmental groups to curb the spread of genetically engineered crops. The story explains that the EPA's conclusion that the corn is relatively harmless to monarch populations is based in part on field studies coordinated last summer by the Agriculture Department in Maryland, Iowa and Minnesota. Data from the studies have not been published yet but were turned over to EPA for review. The agency has declined to release the data because of confidentiality claims by biotech companies involved in the research. Agency officials were cited as saying they hoped to release the data before the Sept. 30 deadline for renewing the Bt corn licenses. Critics of the biotech industry said the agency should not renew the registrations until it has released the research data and allowed the public to review and comment on it. Jane Rissler of the Union of Concerned Scientists was cited as saying that the two types of Bt corn that are up for renewal -- known in the industry as Bt 11 and Mon 810 -- don't appear to produce enough toxin to kill monarchs at pollen levels found in corn fields, adding, "That's good news for monarchs." But she said the agency was not justified in allowing the continued planting of a third, more toxic type of Bt corn, developed by Syngenta. Syngenta voluntarily dropped the product but has been given until 2003 to phase out its use. On the Net: EPA's biopesticide program: http://www.epa.gov/oppbppd1/biopesticides/index.htm Richard A.

I am old enough to be old-fashioned in many ways when it comes to _new_technology. I at least admit this to myself. I just don't like the idea of _______________. To be wise one has to know their weaknesses as well as their strengths - perhaps even more so. There is old technology I am totally comfortable with - radio waves passing through my body and brain 24 hrs a day. Cell phone "radiation" - I have my guard up. Everything about genetic Biotech reminds me of the movie The Fly. We have a long history of TV and movie si-fi telling the average person to watch out for the mad scientist. I wonder if this is the base for this in many of us in the US. Is the fear fact based or culture based. I think I am willing to be swayed - but I need a lot of reassurance from good impartial science - and time. Now, since I have to admit that my aversion to Biotech is actually fear based (and I thus naturally lean anti it) I do not appreciate it at all when scare mongers come along and sway me by what they say is honest info and then later find out they are just agenda or money orientated and have falsely applied the information or flat out lied. There are some people who are very much against blood transfusions due to their fear of getting AIDS. They would die in the hospital before they would agree to a simple (safe) transfusion which would save their life. They are already over the edge and they do not need someone to come along at tie a lead weight to their phobia. If genetic engineered whatever is actually good (or will be once the kinks are worked out) I need to be open to change. I have heard a lot of negative about BtCorn to humans, animals and of course Monarchs. If this turns out to be just a bunch of "they sky is falling crap" it will really tick me off. Richard's forwarded post points in that direction. If I come around to accepting - if not endorsing - BtCorn and other such products it will not be because I sell pesticide or it is my natural inclination. It will be because it is actually pretty safe and the benefits will outweigh the risks. That is my up front answer to your question.

As I definitely do not agree with wholesale execution of insects, even though I am a collector, I started calling myself a Micropaleoentomologist. Since I retired I have backed off and now refer to myself as an Historical Biologist. When I am out just enjoying butterflies I am an Aurelian.

Had a banner year for the hard to get stuff. Seems that a lot of the mainstream stuff was a little scarce though. A. Occulea and E. caleta were almost non-existant. C. splendons a little low but you could count on seeing 10 or so most nights. E. oslari started off great. We estimated to have 500 individuals in one night at Pena Blanca on the 16th of July. The A. paminas started comming in early the same night. By 10 PM we had about 500 females on the sheet. At 2AM the male invasion started and by 4AM we estimated between 3 and 5 thousand were on the one sheet. We have never seen anything like it. The sheet was so full there was no more room for any more individuals. They started to pile up at the base of the sheet and ended up being 3 inches deep, 6 feet wide and 2 feet in front of the sheet. We deeply regretted not having a camera to see such a spectacle but made up for it 2 days later. The numbers were about half but still a sight I couldnt imagine being equalled anywhere. This time we had the camera. We managed 6 A. iris these 2 nights also. Nothing else notable on these 2 nights. We then went to Harshaw Creek and had our best night ever for A. patagoniensis and A. iris. We saw 18 patagoniensis and 11 iris, all males. (Shoot) Also saw a Daritas howardi, a first for us at Harshaw. The activity was quite slow except for what we were looking for. (When was the last time that happened) Our next trip took us to some unknown road about 10 miles west of Pena Blanca. We took 4 R. cincta including 1 female. S. smithi and A. anona were also present in fair numbers. Lots of cool arctiads too. As usualy A. pamina and E. oslari were present in ridiculous numbers. S. montana was also present in large numbers. Our next trip took us to the Peloncillo Mountains on the New Mexico border. Wow, 17 A. Randa, will our luck never stop? Time to return to Pena Blanca once again. 9 different Saturnids, (Ties our best night), including H. gloveri which we have NEVER seen at Pena Blanca. Also took E. crameri and M. occulta, both hard catches for us. Still waiting for our female R. cincta pupa (Courtesy Jim Tuttle) to emerge so we can start calling. Hope its not too late in the season. Well folks, thats about it. We will still be hammering it at a somewhat slower pace from her on out, but will keep going. Hope everyone else did as well.

But as you say the permanency of electronic data is in question for various reasons. I have large quantities of data on punch cards (but alas, no punch card reader). I have 8" floppies for my PDP-8 which languishes in my son's basement. I have 5 1/4 inch floppies filled with text and data generated on a CPM-based operating system which we were assured in 1980 would be the state of the art. If you bought beta-max you know what I mean. Yesterday I went to order a new laptop with a very fast CD-rom drive and was told that was on it's way to be obsolete. So electronic media really need to be curated as vigorously as the specimens themselves.

Irritant materials are generally "irritating" to a most people with some variability in how individuals respond. And these reactions generally involve a direct toxic effect on tissues or cells. Thus fiber glass and sandpaper are irritating and there are many plant chemicals that are irritants as well. Allergic responses tend to be more idiosyncratic. Some are common (for example 5-20% of a population might become sensitized to nickel or mango) while others are rare (less than 1% of exposed people become sensitized). And the reaction involves the immune system. But, there may be source variability as well as receptor variability. Milkweeds differ in their alkaloid composition, accounting for the different palatability of the Monarch's that grow on them. Perhaps they vary as well in their ability to inflict painful responses. I regularly pull up Common Milkweed by hand and am exposed to the milky "sap", but I certainly anticipate that if it ever got in my eye it would be irritating. Another difference is that irritant reactions may occur immediately (within seconds or minutes). Allergic reactions may occur within minutes (immediate hypersensitivity) or may take 24-48 hours to develop (delayed hypersensitivity). These represent different immune mechanisms. It would be interesting to know how many people response adversely and details about the nature of the response (localized at the point of contact or general; symmetrical or asymmetrical).

Do you know of any other reports from NJ? Thanks, Jim ===================================================== GOCHFELD'S RESPONSE Jim, I know of no other records from NJ. It sounds like a reasonable thing to "imagine" that it was human assisted, but there's no reason why strong flying Danaus butterflies couldn't show up out of range. One kind of assist might be school releases, but I don't know whether Queens are widely used for such purposes. David looked closely to see what might be a "fingerprint", but apparently concluded it probably wasn't. Also the photographs show an extremely fresh individual, suggesting a local emergence rather than a long-distance flight. Therefore another more likely kind might be horticultural trade in Milkweeds. We are beginning to see Scarlet Milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) in nurseries. If plants are brought up from a more tropical region for sale here, they could easily transport a caterpillar unharms. I bought a Pipevine at a Florida nursery and when I got it home (NJ) it had six Polydamas larvae on it. They devoured the plant thereby committing suicide---so no inadvertent introduction there. There have been other southern vagrants in NJ and neighboring states, going back a century or more, when presumably human assists would have been less frequent. The term "vagrant" implies that the creature got to an unusual location on its own, so perhaps the term "accidental" is less value laden, since it makes no judgement as to how the occurrence occurred. Anyway it's a fascinating record and the suggestion that it might be a "western" source will prompt closer scrutiny of David's photos.

Dear Jim: I found and photographed a male Queen (yes a Queen) in East Windsor, NJ yesterday. The butterfly was nectaring on swamp milkweed, canada thistle, and dogbane in a wet meadow/old field. I have great photos of the upper and lower surfaces. I can't find any records for this species in NJ. Burger and Gochfield don't list it, even as accidental, the USGS web page doesn't show NJ records or even anything closer than NC, the Mulberry Wing NY sightings don't include it, and it's don't listed as a rare stray in the Butterflies of Delmarva. I assume, it is either a release, an escape, or possibly a stray. The wher I found it, is only about 1/4 mile from exit 8 on the turnpike and there are really only farm fields and a little development in between. Maybe it was carried along by a truck or other vehicle? Now for some details on the butterfly. It was nectaring and patrolling. I watched it and photographed it for about 10 minutes before I lost it flew through some very dense rose and I lost it. I could not relocate it. Unfortunately I did not realize how unusual the sighting was until I got home last night and started checking its distribution out. Otherwise, I probably would have collected it. But, I did take detailed field notes and nice close up photos. The butterfly is in very good condition. It has a very slight tear (beak mark?) on the hind wing margin. There is some loss of scales on the upper surface of one forewing and a series of lines on the other that could suggest the lines of a fingerprint. However, there is no evidence on the photos of scale loss on the underside of the wing opposite these areas of scale loss on the upper side that would suggest that someone had held the wings. I would think that holding the wings in such a way that would create an impression of the lines of a fingerprint on one surface would certainly remove scales on the other surface. I think I'm going to try it with a monarch and see what happens. The butterfly also has pretty distinct white scaling along the black veins of the undersurface of the hindwing. My books seem to suggest that this is related to the western populations of the species. .

While there has been much focus on accidental or deliberate releases of butterflies out of their known range, little credit is given to either the abilities of butterflies to stray out of their "normal" range or on the impact that the increasing numbers of observers are having on reporting. Queens, remember, are well-known migrants in the midwest, ranging seasonally WAY up into the plains states, even the Great Lakes region. Check out the map at: http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/distr/lepid/bflyusa/usa/91.htm While east-coast Queens are not well-documented for such long-distance travels, they do apparently move north and arrive as far as N.C. during most years. The historical east-coast north record is Martha's Vineyard, MA. With the increasing numbers of observers nationwide, especially in the urban northeast, and with the ease of reporting (via NABA or various online discussion groups), it comes as no surprise that such observations are being reported. Recent Gulf Fritillary reports in the northeast have also been suspect as releases, but there have been several historical records from New York City and Long Island (ref: Shapiro's "Butterflies and Skippers of New York"). I did feel suspicious about the perceived fingerprint on the Queen's wing, but I have seen such markings as the result of light reflections off wings or from other causes. I would think that if anyone held the butterfly by the middle of the outer part of the forewing, there would have been considerable wing damage. An internet post last year theorized the odds of an observer coming across an individual butterfly that was released (even one of many from a mass-release). The odds are apparently astronomical. It would stand to reason that if an observer chanced upon a representative individual of a natural mass-movement, then there must be many thousands actually moving northward. My vote? Keep the record to see if a trend develops either this year or over time. Which brings about the topic of deliberate releases: If people are going to release butterflies, I would like to suggest that suppliers ought to PLEASE tag or mark their butterflies (at least those being shipped out of their "normal" range) with an obvious mark so at least the first-generation releasees are identifiable as such.

Recent trends in birding are paying attention to subspecies (see the Sibley field guide, for instance), if for no other selfish reason than identified subspecies may in the future become new species (in this recent era of splitters) and thus add to the Life List ( for you uninitiated, that's the driving force behind some birders). I recently made a pilgrimage to Mt. Palomar, CA in search of the Hale Telescope (the Holy Grail of optics) and butterflies with Mike Klein of San Diego. The telescope was serendipity, and the butterflies were almost as good. I saw about 15 lifers, most of which Mike referred to by subspecies, often with an English name for that subspecies. It was a novel experience for me, a little weird but not particularly vexing. Glassberg's Western guide shows subspecies by photo and text, and what Mike was showing me was easily referenced in the book. Since birders are often into "games" (day lists, county lists, etc.,), the trick will be to get "butterfly listing" down to the subspecies level. How? Current field guides, literature. etc., that feature subspecies (the older publications that Ron refers to are often not easy to find), and guidance from the "pros" while observing in the field. We "birders" are a product of our environment, so don't dismiss us out of hand - help us to correct our flaws. I'm sure that there will be many who are eager to learn.

Harry, the USDA laws already forbid shipping butterflies out of their natural range for release. Also, the Queen butterfly is not one of the nine widespread migratory species the USDA allows to be shipped for release. Finally, 90+% of all the butterflies shipped for release are just Monarchs and Painted Ladies. For all these reasons it is extremely unlikely that the Queens and Gulf Fritillaries sighted in New England were shipped there from a southern State. With regard to the suggestion of tagging, breeders might be receptive to this IF it could be demonstated with a mathematical model or cast history evidence that there was a reasonable chance of an observer coming across an individual monarch or Painted Lady that had been deliberately released (even one of many from a mass-release). But the odds appear to be near zero, or perhaps along the lines of one sighting in a metropolitan area every several years or so. A couple practical examples: Over the years, monarchs have rarely been seen in San Diego and Los Angeles in summer (with a few exceptions such as butterfly gardens planted with alot of milkweed and a few isolated wild areas with alot of milkweed). Since about 1995, thousands of monarchs have been shipped to these cities in summer for wedding and funeral releases. This influx of artificial migrants has not increased the frequency of summer monarch sightings by the many lep enthusiasts living in these urban areas. A bit of math: Say 100 monarchs are released in a residential area of Los Angeles for someone's funeral. If these 100 butterflies disperse over a 20 square mile area after two days this means there are 5 monarchs per square mile. That's 5 monarchs per every 640 acres. Since the average home sits on very roughly 1/5 acre, that's 5 monarchs per every 3,200 homes in the area or one monarch per 640 homes. Yes the odds of a butterfly observer spotting a deliberately released monarch do seem astronomical - even in a metropolitan area. One last note: The average wedding or funeral release involves just 1-3 dozen monarchs or painted ladies, not hundreds. Few brides or widowers can afford the cost of hundreds of butterflies.

As biological curators we do not need additional obligations of equipment maintenance and conservation. Printed and written records have served us well for several thousand years. I see no reason to abandon that format now. Electronic methods of data storage and access have provided us with magnificent tools for data capture, manipulation, standardization, matching, recognition that is fast. They have not provided us with a century standard of international data preservation. I think it is wonderful to publish a data-filled report using current state-of-the-art technology, but, without a companion printed permanent record (illustrated book) this is ultimately a non-publication because stored copies that are decades old or centuries old will be unreadable with the state-of-the-art technology of that future time. I too have a Kallikac-style shed full of defunct equipment, but I have maintained an operating thread of data transcribability from CP/M and OS/9 to WindowsME. I feel that I have squandered a lot of time that would have otherwise been devoted to descriptive science, just trying to use modern methods. I have also spent the equivalent of several specimen cabinets filled with Cornell drawers and unit trays while following the wild hare of computerization. Maybe I can recoup some of this on E-Bay when I sell my Osborne schematic chart that is signed by Adam Osborne. .........Chris Durden At 05:04 AM 7/31/2001 -0400, you wrote: >Harry, > >I agree that scanning and electronic documentation of specimens is a >valuable undertaking; that is if we assume that the collection catalogue >has already been data-based (a valuable neologism). > >But as you say the permanency of electronic data is in question for >various reasons. > >I have large quantities of data on punch cards (but alas, no punch card >reader).

So maybe the next step is to look at the probability that one of those 640 homes would be occupied by a butterfly watcher and the probability that the watcher would be out watching when the deliberately released butterfly flew over. But I am no math or modeling wizard so welcome ideas and input from the experts in this area. It seems we should eventually be able to arrive at a model that could predict the probability of sighting a deliberately released monarch or painted lady based on different sets of assumptions and circumstances.

So the butterflies aren't randomly distributed. Moreover, they do move. On a day when we thought we had about 3 Monarchs in our yard more or less all day, tagging of 12 individuals showed that they were moving around.

On the morning in question I travelled west through cropland. In one twenty mile stretch 75 + Painted Lady kept crossing my path. Later in the day I travelled first back east and then south. In one twenty-five mile stretch 100+ Painted Lady were once again in evidence. The habitat was the same as in the morning - prairie cropland. So the question is, what are the parameters that you have to take into account? It has been suggested that speed of vehicle does not affect your count. What about field of view? That is, I suspect that I only saw laterally twenty-five - the width of two highway lanes. Then distance travelled. Is that the starting point of any estimation? If it is in this case, and combined with potential habitat that can be occupied at any one time by Vanessa cardui, their numbers this year have to be in the millions.

Technology should be used to create permanent records that do not need to be updated! Printed records fill this need perfectly. Records that should be permanent must never be stored on transient media alone. The first rule is - make a printed label for the specimen. A bar-code may be added for convenience, but may not always be readable. The second rule is - make a printout of the catalog for the archive! The electronic database or the media on which it is recorded may not be always readable. The third rule is - publish your catalog. Several libraries will save your published catalog. Your own institution may lose it. The fourth rule is - don't let the salesman sell you the Emperor's New Clothes. Expensive vapor-ware and the equipment to run it on may bankrupt the institution and create another orphan collection! ............Chris Durden At 08:39 PM 7/31/2001 -0400, you wrote: >Chris, > >In reading your message below, I think the only thing you disagree with >is my initial statement which was "I agree that scanning and electronic >documentation of specimens is a >valuable undertaking; that is if we >assume that the collection catalogue >has already been data-based (a >valuable neologism)." > > >But my next sentence was: > >But as you say the permanency of electronic data is in question for > >various reasons. > > >With which I think you agree. > >We are seeing more and more papers that reference web sites as the >authority for some statement, with little assurance that the web site >has valid information (although that probably goes for many books as >well) or with no guaruntee of permanency (although library permanency >may be an illusion as well). > >I'm sure it's as true for insects as it was for birds, but European >museum collections didn't escape WW-II unscathed. > >Mike Gochfeld > > > >Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 14:05:06 -0500 >To: leps-l at lists.yale.edu >From: "Chris J.

I suspected a visitor might have "pilfered" it (!) Could it be MY missing Queen?! Seriously, though, sightings of unusual species could also be the result of a proliferation of "butterfly houses, exhibits, conservatories," etc., etc. All the vigilent monitoring can't possibly stop the determined renegades from escaping their consigned confinements. I've chased down three White Peacocks and one Great Southern White that managed to "slip out" undetected, and was only successful in retrieving two of the four. And those are the only individuals "to my knowledge" (!) On my days off, all sorts of mayhem breaks loose: An escaped Julia was observed "mating" with an incarcerated Julia through the mesh of the tent's roof (!) And a Zebra Longwing was observed having "a Field day," in the main hall of the museum.... As a side note: Queens are one of the easiest butterflies to farm for distribution and pretty slippery in their tactics of escape. All of the Queens that I receive are sent as chrysalides. And to add my commentary on allergic reactions to milkweed: after handling hundreds of Queen and Monarch chrysalides over the course of the summer, I have not experienced any adverse reactions, nor has anyone else that has helped me handle them. I've also collected green milkweed pods in Wisconsin for my sister, who uses them to make "birds" with her second grade class. There is plenty of oozing "sap," and I've yet to hear of any of her children suffering allergic reactions to their crafting with milkweed pods. (But then, asbestos was used as an ingredient for a "paper mache" recipe in a Teacher's magazine from the early 60's...which I discovered in the archives of an architectural firm where I worked.)

My only contribution to the thread on this go around is thus: Over the course of what has been many years now, I have gone from a shy, whispering user of scientific names to a bold, in-spite-of-stumbling pronouncer of Walkerized names. I know - this goes against the very concept of universality, but I have been guided by the shared wisdom on LEPS-L and have concluded that my pronunciations are just as valid as the next persons. When you actually find yourself discussing things in public, it's amazing how different the pronunciations can be. Sometimes they can be particularly disparate (bordering on humorous) - usually resulting in bit of a communications lag not unlike the ones that occurs in transcontinental analog voice conversations. This can be quite fun, and happens even to those who are highly respected in the field. After a time you figure it out, mumbling the translation quietly to yourself, and attempt to catch up on the discussion without missing more than a beat. I've found this protocol to be quite universal, and rarely have been met with stern correction. I find this a fascinating and wonderful aspect of the naming phenomenon. Once you figure this out, the use of scientific names can really be fun, after all.

I am speaking of course, of the genetic engineering in the broad sense, including plant breeding and the artificial selection of "sports" and also of target gene insertions. As with everything that gets done in this universe, there are forseen and unforseen consequences. Plant breeding and culture encouraged a big population buildup in the early Holocene (I don't want to insult and inflame geologists by mentioning the common names here). This led to the Parthenon and Virgil, but also to various plagues, wars and famines, not to mention the Byzantine empire and other dictatorships. Contemporary genetic engineering has lots of problems. We know enough of pest control to suspect that putting out a constant selective force (rather than targeted brutal repressions) leads to pesticide resistance in most pests. We should have enough foresight to recognize that taking the seeds out of the hands of farmers (as licenses effectively do) is socially pernicious (where are the usual pro-militia voices on this list about this loss of freedom? How would Thomas Jefferson have reacted to Dupont or Monsanto controlling the genetic future of Monticello? We know -- he helped found the University of Virginia). And when the next social calamity comes (war, conquest, natural disasters on a global scale) who will supply the fragments of the farmers their seeds? This is not an idle whimsy -- disasters always come. I am in favor of genetic engineering, but I am not in favor of stupid avarice -- and that is what I see in much of the field today.

I have made this point myself on numerous occasions. The car casualty argument is actually a very very poor point. It _obviously_ doesn't address the issue. When you use an invalid argument it tends to discredit your case. > > While I am not a collector, many of the people I respect most in this field > do kill bugs - for hobby as well as science - and I enjoy seeing their > collections - and am grateful they exist!

You are right. It is a bad argument to advance. The real issue is that some people, misguidedly in my opinion, think it is always wrong to _deliberately_ set out to kill insects. This is not what you do when you are driving. Insect deaths then are incidental and accidental. -- Neil Jones- Neil at nwjones.demon.co.uk http://www.butterflyguy.com/ NOTE NEW WEB ADDRESS "At some point I had to stand up and be counted.

I don't agree with the argument but I understand why it is put forward. It is a question of _volition_. To extend your analogy further a driver is driving a roadworthy vehicle down a street quite slowly within the legal speed limit, suddenly a small child runs out from behind a parked car just feet in front of him and is killed. In this case the driver cannot be held to blame because he had no control over what happens. However driving carelessly though a crowd is something you _have_ control over. The same is true for people who accidentally hit butterflies with the car it is _accidental_. The objection that these people have is to the _deliberate_ killing of butterflies. When you use an argument what doesn't address the real issue it is seen as being evasive. > > From the _butterflies'_ point of view, drivers are far more of a > menace, and most of the people who object to collecting would probably > like to think that they are 'speaking for the butterflies'. > Why is it OK to kill myriads of insects as we go about our lives, but > positively evil to pick out kill a single insect for one's curiosity > about the natural world?

I do not believe that it is morally wrong to kill insects. However, some people do. People do believe in odder things than that. There are people who believe that native americans are decended from the lost tribes of israel! I quote Andrew Lees for two reasons. 1. He was an inspirational conservationist who helped conserve one of my favourite wildlife sites in the UK and he died in Madagascar fighting to save a tropical forest. Like me he worked to conserve _habitats_ and I like his quotation because it fits what I do. 2. When I was asked for help in designing the memorial. I suggested using the quote used in his obituary by the organisation for whom he worked. Naturally being a butterfly conservationist I would wouldn't I. :-) Using the memorial quote myself has therefore an element of irony that appeals to me. Next time I go to Crymlyn Bog I will have to take some pictures of the memorial and the bog itself to put on the web. -- Neil Jones- Neil at nwjones.demon.co.uk http://www.butterflyguy.com/ "At some point I had to stand up and be counted.

Oh dear, Oh dear,Oh dear. Those Mullahs have really got to you. Let's get one thing straight, homosexuality is not immoral never mind what any interpretation of any ancient holy book says! No doubt among all the hundreds of forms of religion that man has invented for himself there must be one, with adherents just in strong as faith as you, that espouses the opposite. :-) People fall in love. They are made that way. Most with the opposite sex but some not. They_are_made_that_way. It has _always_ been so. Myself I have always been exclusively attracted to women, I cannot help it. I am made that way. And then suppose that you > found out that I was prone to spending hours surfing porn or visiting strip > joints. You would accuse me of hypocrisy, and would get irate if I ever > dared label another as immoral. Actually Mark. If you want to visit strip joints or surf for porn that is entirely your choice. You are actually being just as moralistic as those who condemn you for collecting butterflies, which is your choice. > The point is that we are ALL guilty of both intentionally killing insects > and destroying their habitat.

Look Mark. There is a concept in _law_ called Mens Rea. "Guilty Mind". In order to commit a crime you must have had an attitude of mind that directly _intended_ to do so. > We're all guilty - some of us worse than others. Those of use that take > occasional specimens but otherwise are MORE sensitive to the impacts > described above, do NOT appreciate being berated, hounded, or publicly > condemned by those out there who are too ignorant to recognize their own > hypocrisy. Mark, you are tilting at windmills again! No one here seriously says that you are wrongabout collecting. Paul Cherubini has dug out a weeks old posting just to stir things up again. I wouldn't be suprised if Sugar was another of his false identities. I would have thought since you work with computers you would understand the logic. Before you can fix any system you have to understand how it works. You method for fixing the bad idea doesn't work because it doesn't address the argument. These people, AND_FOR_GOODNESS_SAKE GET IT INTO YOUR HEAD _I AM_NOT_ONE, are against _deliberately_ going out and killing butterflies. They don't care about accidentally killing them. Hypocritical it may be to your highly moralistic views but in their equally highly moralistic system that is how it is. If you don't address this point by pointing out the proper need to collect in a _rational_ manner. You are going to loose the argument. PERIOD. -- Neil Jones- Neil at nwjones.demon.co.uk http://www.butterflyguy.com/ NOTE NEW WEB ADDRESS "At some point I had to stand up and be counted. Who speaks for the butterflies?"
