[SoWestLep] Lep Storage

Hi Stan,

Unregulated temperature extremes such as that would definitely not be good
for your collection.  As one example, overly hot temperatures will cause
your specimens to "grease up" much more frequently than normal.  I would
seek a solution to abate the temperratures at the high end. At least
keeping them on the north side of your home or in a finished basement would
help a lot.

Cheers,

Paul

I would like to move my collection from inside my house to another
location in northern Arizona. The new location would not have any
temperature regulation and so the leps would be subject to temperature
ranges from the mid 20's in the winter (at rare times even lower) to the
90's in the summer and for a few weeks the low 100's. Does anyone know
what negative effects such temperature ranges would have on the
specimens? This is Arizona and so humidity would be a minor problem.
