Kris, thanks for the welcome greeting. I do not mind answering any questions I can, just beware, what I know is limited like everyone else, I do not profess expertise, just a little experience in identification.

Congratulations on becoming a TN Moth-er! I look forward to meeting you, perhaps at a Roan Mtn. rally. I'm sure Larry has already asked you to join him at the sheets. Wow, that sounds almost as weird as what Hugh mentioned! Ha! ;) I hope you won't mind answering questions from me and other "larval stage" moth'ers.

Congratulations on such good work. J. N.

(Only on this list-serve does that NOT sound weird.) He's a font of knowledge!

John Lewis (Buck) has an extensive background in entomology, primarily with moths. I am hoping he will provide us with some of this information. He recently moved to Bristol, TN from Washington DC where he worked at the Smithsonian in the Entomology Dept.. Today he introduced himself at the Steele Creek Park Nature Center where I work. He has already returned with a wonderful donation of insect drawers to be used for our collection. He is eager to help out at the park with building the collection. So, welcome Buck! I hope you enjoy tn-moths. Larry McDaniel -- Hugh McGuinness Sag Harbor, NY
