Lol. A lepidopterist in Panama. You’re going to have problems.

Is there a single research forum anywhere?
I'm on several research-related (say, research plus) forums and the one thing they're good at is sharing, the thing they're ALL bad at is collating and collaborating. So I started looking, and couldn't find a single one on ANY topic that's half-way decent for research data sharing and collaboration....

Re: Which tropical hardwood is best for insect boxes?

Re: CITES in-depth study
Note on US Import laws A final short note on US import laws. I am not an attorney, none of my posts in this thread should be considered legal advise. You are responsible for knowing the laws of the export country and USA. CITES is far from the only laws governing import of dead bugs. There's Lacey A...

Re: CITES in-depth study
Summary of CITES II and dead bugs If one reads the redacted part concerning CITES II, and then further cuts out the parts over which they personally have no control (e.g., what the Managing Authority is responsible for) it become readily apparent that complying with the documentary requirements of C...

Re: CITES in-depth study
THE FOLLOWING EXCERPT FROM CITES HAD BEEN REDACTED To allow for more readily understood discussions specific to the export/import of dead CITES II insects, and ONLY those. Everything else, including CITES I, preambles, live export, re-export, and flowery diplomat-speak has been redacted. Article II...

CITES in-depth study
CITES is poorly understood, not just by entomologists, but by authorities as well. Hopefully this thread will shed some light, and serve as a reference for entomologists, importers, and enforcement authorities. I'll be taking it step-by-step as time permits. This is not for discussion of other topic...
