VBS Volunteers-
Finally, the VBS database is online! Thanks for your patience. Check it
out at
http://www.uvm.edu/~vbap/projectdata.htm.
It is a good idea to check out your block(s) and list the species that
have already been vouchered so you know what you need. I keep a
checklist for each of my 12 blocks and then update it after each
visit.
We continue to update the database. For example, we are working on
identifying the Phyciodes sp. vouchers (big thanks to Jim Hedbor and
Michael Sabourin for working on these!) and the Azures (thanks to
Harry Pavulaan!). We have a good start on getting
historic records in the database, but we have a long long road to travel
to get them all in there. About half fo the UVM collection is in
the database as well as a number of other smaller historic collections.
This is a last reminder to let us know what block(s) you will be
surverying if you have not already.
Happy butterflying.
Kent
