And it's easy to find more of the same:

because he tries to help make them _extinct_.!"

In fact, Neil has devoted two web pages to me and
one for Tom Kral

But sorely lacking is any hard evidence linking our 
collecting activities to the decline of any species.  Nor
any mention of the contributions Kral, Skalski, Grinnel,
myself and other collectors have made toward butterfly
conservation.
