Pieris brassicae in U.S.

[John Snyder]

A colleague of mine has done work with living Pieris brassicae in England
and would like to transfer the research to the U.S.  It would involve
close containment of all stages of the life cycle--no release or field
work.

His questions:  (1) Is a USDA permit needed for such work?  (2) Is there
anyone in the U.S. currently maintaining a colony of brassicae, where my
colleague could obtain eggs or early larvae?  Who might that be?

Replies can be sent directly to me at the email address below.
