Re: Citations of publications?
I think my second paragraph and the suggestion to Mendeley helps you best with your problem. Mendeley creates the citation information from a PDF or can find it by a paper's DOI (all the popular papers come with a DOI, a digital object identifier). When it finds nothing you have a form field where y...

Re: Citations of publications?
Hello Chuck. People don't format these by hand. You create an intermediate file in BibTex format. After this you configure your text editor to use the BibTex file to reference the citation and you set your citation format there. Check for "How to insert a citation in Microsoft Word using BibTeX...

Re: Crawfish
Interesting thoughts. I too enjoy crawfish and they are one of my best memories from Texas. Every crawfish season I would make sure to get some to eat. From all the names they have I use mudbug the most often as I like that name. With the rains and floods in spring they would come out and cover fiel...

Re: Rare Oak Species Found
I am from Luxembourg, and nowadays I work for a Dutch company. I also think that the sclerophylly of the Southern oaks is hampering leaf miners. Combined with the hot weather. I always thought that the weather was too hot and dry to keep something as thin and small as a Lycaenid going, completely se...

Re: Rare Oak Species Found
Thank you for explaining. I would say that plants and botany are of interest to people on insectnet. After all insects feed on plants and are very specific in what they need. The best entomologists I have met have had incredible field knowledge in plants. I had been to Chisos Mountains. I didn't go ...

Re: Rubbish "science" is misleading
Thank you John for explaining the background details and showing that Chuck's criticism can't be left to stand on its own. It becomes more and more frequent that people of various (or nonexistent) educational backgrounds criticize parts of science or science as a whole. In science you are left to re...

Re: How to perfectly relax butterflies : the vodka method
In the very beginning I used alcohol based window cleaner. I assume it's a similar mixture to Vodka. Unfortunately, specimen will get a bit of a smell from the window cleaner.

Re: Finally met one of my mentors!
It's great meeting people in person. In 2014 I think I had attended a seminar at UF Gainesville where Charlie Covell was present. In any case the seminar was started by Thomas Emmel who I met and talked to. They dedicated a research room at Butterfly World in Coconut Creek, FL to Thomas Emmel after ...

Re: Papilio anchisiades
Was the cold winter the winter of 2020-21? I was in Florida at that time and a cold spell came in and killed off the Bismarckias (Bismarckia nobilis). Later we had the Blizzard in Texas and we had lost power. I had seen H. charitonia in Houston (2015) I think, and I have seen it a few times in Flori...

Re: Cercyonis pegala
There is different subspecies, a lot of them without the beautiful yellow! I knew about this species before my first travel to the US as people sometimes mention it, but not about the color variations. I guess it is not that well collected as most Satyrinae, but it does show up in conversations ever...

Re: Papilio saharae.
Does Tunisia have machaon or saharae? I have mounted Papilios from Tunisia for a museum many years ago, but I don't know if it was saharae or machaon. Of course those will be a lot easier to come by than these from Yemen.

Re: Breeding: Gonepteryx rhamni
I don't know what the initial text was, but Gonepteryx rhamni is one of the longest living species of butterflies in Europe. The specimen that hatch in summer do not lay eggs but will go into hibernation. When the weather is cold it can happen that a specimen that hibernated survives until June and ...
