Raising Caterpillars / Cocoons / Moths
by Elloween Powers. October 31, 2001
In response to a request for listing files that contain pictures, I have begun using a red letter "P" to denote a picture is available. I am also using the ATL checklist for tropical Saturniidae to correct all classifications for new world tropical Saturniiidae. This process will probably be done over Christmas holidays and that is when I hope to be able to offer cd version with print quality images.
Luna, polyphemus, cecropia cocoons (Canada, U.S. or overseas) and a small number of columbia and cynthia (U.S. only) continue to be available.
Once again, please take the time to look over the articles in the MEMBERS' ARTICLES Section and cast a vote prior to November 30, 2001.
It is my intention to have a special United States index by the end of November as most of the members are from the U.S.
Half of all membership registration fees received in October, November and December will be donated to the American Red Cross.
Thanks for your support!
