Doug, sorry, I should have been a little more specific. I meant to include
common names in addition to the scientific name and Hodges #. There is no
substitution for the scientific names, since they are recognized world-wide.
I can navigate among scientific names with birds and wildflowers, but with
3000+ moths, I am totally lost here!
I will always include the sci name and Hodges # with my postings, along with
the common name. And, I can't imagine how you would possibly keep up with all
these sightings without the Hodges #, especially!
Thanks so much for all your work here.

Aubrey,
As others and I have stated earlier, we tend to be very flexible in recording
information. The only danger in sticking with common names alone is that there
are occasions when common names vary from place to place and even from species
to species. That's why I like to include common, scientific, and Hodges in the
state list. I believe Jean does the same for FOY. But in the interest of
keeping this listserv user-friendly, just keep those records coming -- any way,
any shape, any form.
Many thanks to everyone.
