Harry, I am also very glad that I joined the group; I enjoy reading what everyone is seeing and looking at the various photos of moths. Thank you very much for your comment about my presentation. I am glad that you enjoyed it. In fact, I am actually doing another presentation for Wake Audubon next month, on September 14, at the museum. This time I will be speaking about my travels in tropical America (Panama, Ecuador, Galapagos, and Belize). If you are available, maybe you can come to my presentation. I have pasted the link to the Wake Audubon calendar for you: http://www.wakeaudubon.org/calendar.htm. I have also pasted my flickr page, in case you wanted to see some of the other photos I am taking: www.flickr.com/photos/hawk-eagle/. Enjoy, Kyle ________________________________ From: Harry Wilson <harrywilson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ncsc-moths@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tue, August 17, 2010 9:28:03 AM Subject: [ncsc-moths] Re: Unknown Moth Thank you, Ed and Kyle. I agree with you, having compared the MPG photos. Wouldn't it be nice if moths always posed according to the Internet photos? Kyle, I am glad that you have joined this group. I was present some time back when you made your presentation to Wake Audubon and you did a fantastic job. In fact, I got the urge to go back to Alaska for a more in-depth stay (I was there for a week in 1996 for a conference). Next time, there will be some serious time spent enjoying Denali and other places.
