Photographic Images of Nun Moth

[Humphreys, Nick]

Good Day:

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. 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.

Sincerely, Nick Humphreys
