Good point.  Will use moth-er.   I figured mother was better than leper.   Jean

  As most of you already know, one of the most important offerings of NABA is 
its Butterflies I've Seen (BIS) data-entry program, where for absolutely free 
you can archive all of your butterfly data.  You can do this by entering the 
number of each species you see during a trip, or you can do this by entering 
just an X for each species; either way, the resulting data are always 
accessible to you personally, and there may eventually be ways in which the 
data will be made publicly accessible in lists, maps, etc.

  As far as I know, there is no equivalent data-entry program for moth data, an 
oversight that needs to be corrected somehow if I am correct about the absence 
of such a program.  If you know of such, please share with the TN-Moths 
listserv subscribers, so that these important data can be archived for the use 
of future generations of moth-ers. [May I recommend that we use moth-er instead 
of mother when using the term in messages to TN-Moths?]

  Hoping to hear from someone in the know about a moth archiving database.

  Good lepping, Steve Stedman
