Most of my lepster friends are folks I met on Leps-L. I love you all 
dearly, as you know, and will never desert you.
I also post to leps-talk, Entomo-L and Nature Potpourri.
The MBBRP list (Miami Blue Butterfly Restoration Project) is 
particularly dear to me, and if you email me or Bob Parcelles 
<ParcBob at aol.com) I will add you to this gang of workers, some of them 
as far away as Alaska ... who are collaborating in the preliminary 
studies that must proceed any restoration efforts.
I try not to clutter up this list with Miami Blue chatter, but heck, if 
it helps, honey, I'm on it.
Cheers
Anne Kilmer
