The USDA has a lot of publications available for download as pdf files. The only one I've downloaded so far is the Caterpillars of Eastern Forests which is interesting enough. http://www.fs.fed.us/foresthealth/technology/pub_titles.shtml#C Ken Childs Henderson, TN Chester County http://tinyurl.com/FinishFlagFarmsMoths http://tinyurl.com/Night-Creatures http://www.finishflagfarms.com ________________________________ From: Craig Marks <cwmaplc@xxxxxxx> To: TN-Butterflies@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2012 9:26 AM Subject: [TN-Butterflies] Fwd: another book from USDA I got my copy of the book, Rare, Declining, and Poorly Known Butterflies and Moths of Forests and Wetlands in the Eastern United States. It is, in fact, a wonderful source of information. It sparked a memory of recently seeing a similar book cited in an article from a TLS Newsletter. Upon investigation, I found the USDA has previously published a book titled: Butterflies and Moths of Pacific Northwest Forests and Woodlands: Rare, Endangered and Management-sensitive Species by Miller and Hammond. The website below will take you to an electronic copy of that book. I do not know if it can be ordered at no cost like the eastern book, but I have sent an e-mail asking that question.
