Not sure this will come through intact but here's one of the best collecting
techniques:



      clothes pin
				styrofoam plate (rain guard)
     _____|_|_____________________________________________________|_|____
    /     | |									| |    \
   /      | | 									| |     \
	    |O|									|O|
 	    | |                                                     | |
__________| |	      / <-- condiment cup			      | |_________ <-- ground
	    |\|__________/							|/|			level
	     \\ ********/ <-- swine (or other) feces     	      /

	       \								    /
	        \								   / <-- cup
     /\        \								  /
     || 	    \								 /
<= ground =>     \     						      /
     || 	      \________________________________________/

 		        \_____________Anti-Freeze*___________/
		         \__________________________________/
	                \________________________________/

*Sierra brand anti-freeze is environmentally friendly

Just a reminder that I'm always interested in posting any collecting tips
and/or Techniques you might wish to share to the community on my
Collecting and Curation Techniques website,

http://nitro.biosci.arizona.edu/zEEB/butterflies/techniques.html

Some of the already posted topics are light boxes for photographing
material,
hints on building cabinets, shoestring-budget MV collecting construction,
hits on degreasing, etc.  I'm always happy to add to the list, and you
input is welcomed!  If you would like to contribute, drop me an email.

Cheers

bruce
