Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: Hal White To: [log in to unmask] ; NE Odonata ; Odonata List Server Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2012 9:47 AM Subject: [NEodes] In Defense of Collecting Insects I received this link from another list serve and thought is would be of interest to the Odonata community. Collect or not to collect. That is the question. The response is a well reasoned argument that all should reflect on whether or not you collect Odonata and whether or not you think collecting Odonata has a place in the world. <http://leplog.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/in-defense-of-collecting/> Hal White Newark, DE __._,_.___ Reply via web post Reply to sender Reply to group Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group Switch to: Text-Only, Daily Digest .
