Photography Submissions: 2007

Go to 2007 Larvae Photography Contest This section is dedicated to Leroy Simon. I first saw some of Leroy Simon's beautiful, award winning photos in the Lep. Soc. publications. I either sent him a letter or spoke to him on the phone, recognizing his accomplishments with a camera, and asked if he could send me some of his "seconds" for posting on the internet. He has been sending me great photos ever since. Imbrasia cytherea, courtesy of Leroy Simon copyright.

Members are encouraged to submit images in any number of different forms: slides, negatives, prints, electronic (cds or jpg email attachments).

All images remain the property of the photographer.

In addition to the images listed below, January 2006 - December 2006, there are hundreds of images available in the
February 2001 - December 2001 archives.
January 2002 - December 2002 archives.
January 2003 - December 2003 archives.
January 2004 - December 2004 archives.
January 2005 - December 2005 archives.

January 2006 - December 2006 archives.

At the bottom of this page are links to complete alphabetical archives 2001-2006.

I have my own scanner for regular pictures and can also do negatives and slides. It is probably easiest for you to send images to me in jpg format as email attachments.

Any slides, negatives or pictures sent will be scanned; the originals will be returned, and I will also transmit electronic copies to you as email attachments or on floppy diskettes. Please advise me, though, before sending any images. This is a free service, but I cannot allow myself to get bogged down with excessive scanning

Many members have sent cds of entire collections and that has been most helpful in expanding the data base.

For 2007 there are three contests:

1) Twenty-five dollar livestock or supplies* prize for the best (my judgment) set of Saturniidae life history photos of a species not currently depicted in full life cycle on the site:
Set should include adult, cocoon, eggs and at least three different instars, including the final instar.

2) Twenty-five dollar livestock or supplies* prize for the best individual image (member's vote) of a Saturniidae adult.

3) Twenty-five dollar livestock or supplies* prize for the best individual image (member's vote) of a Saturniidae larva.

Supplies* means any of the prizes (books, sleeves, cds, prints, memberships) so designated for the competition.
