Ken, No strong preference here. I use common name, scientific name and hodges #. I find it easy to copy and paste from BugGuide. This has the added benefit of allowing a reader to click onto the BugGuide link to the species from my e-mail.

Some easy ones that even I can ID! One I forgot to send from awhile back. 5/7/10 9044 Thioptera nigrofimbria 6/12/10 8107 Haploa clymene Ken Childs Henderson, TN Chester County http://www.finishflagfarms.com _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.
