Dear Fellow Leppers,
I have been meaning to let you all know about another course on Lepidoptera
that is occurring this summer. The course takes place in the amazing
Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona at the Southwestern Research
Station from August 14 to 22. I was a student at the course last summer, and
not only was the moth diversity incredible (more than 300 species
photographed in a week), but I learned a heck of a lot of moth biology.
The faculty at this year's course is great with experts in many major groups
in attendance. The station itself is in a picturesque setting, and the food
is plentiful and very good. And lest you are worried about the heat
(although I don't imagine people from the Carolinas and Tennessee are scared
off by heat), the station is at 5000 feet and thus night-time temperatures
are in the mid-60s.
More information about the course can be found at:
http://nitro.biosci.arizona.edu/lep/lep-2011.html. The application deadline
for the course is June 14.
Hugh
