Camera problems must be contagious! The built-in flash on my D90 is acting quirky this week, it works sometimes and doesn't others. Frustrating! I've been having science camp this week and haven't had time to post my latest sightings either. Next week should slow down, plus I'll be able to stay up later at night to hunt moths! Merrill, I have been using your moth page along with Larry's to help in my ID's. Between the 2 of you, I can usually find most of what I see at my sheets. :) Kris ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

Hopefully, I will have a new lens by next week and can resume my moth surveys. I have also been extremely busy at work and unable to keep up with my email correspondence the past couple of weeks. It is my hope that my current workload will ease up some and I can resume my moth passion in the very near future. Just wanted folks to know that my paucity of recent correspondence on the listserves does not reflect any diminution in interest, just the convergence of unfortunate circumstances beyond my control.
