>Listers,
Hopefully, I have just one thing to say in this go 'round.
I will admit that collectors probably can be a threat to a species
when it is confined to a small area with specialized foodplants, etc. But
*why* do most species reach this point? Because little is done about the
habitat destruction, development, etc. which ultimately *confines* the
species to one small area. Once the thing becomes "endangered" then the
collectors get the brunt of the blame.
That's all.
