My friend and classmate, Sam Jaffe, is on a mission and he needs your help. 

I mentioned Sam's work with caterpillars several months ago prior to his visit to Vermont to give a lecture on caterpillars with North Branch Nature Center.  Those who were able to attend his talk can attest to his skill and expertise with both caterpillar ecology and their use in environmental education.  Without describing his project in depth, I encourage you to check out his kick-starter page and consider supporting him in his work.
