Dear VTLEPists-

I thought I would take this opportunity to stir the inner butterfly in you.

Anyone that does not have there address registered with VBS but would like to see the end of the season newsletter; the newsletters are on the web site at http://www.uvm.edu/~vbap/newsletters.htm.

Additionally, we began a monthly "species in the spotlight". The first one is West Virginia White. You can see that at http://www.uvm.edu/~vbap/species.htm. If anyone wants to ever put together a short "species in the spotlight", please let me know. We would love your help.

Also there is information about our addition of giant silkmoths to the survey. Now is a great time to wonder around looking for the large baggy cacoons, monitor them and report them. See http://www.uvm.edu/~vbap/silkmoth.htm. Neat web links too!

Well, back to data entry. The first season data will be online before the snow starts to melt and thoughts turn to the first Mourning Cloak.
