Here is how it could work - using me as an example. I'm open for other opinions!
- I have a few hundred excess butterflies from northern Central America. Nothing too rare, but representing nice diversity including local subspecies.
- And I'll certainly be in the field on future trips and can custom collect for others.
- I'd like to trade these away for "bulk" collections of Hesperiidae from other interesting locations with like-minded collectors.
- But not "junk" specimens - I'm looking for field collectors who know the difference between common crap, and interesting locally common species
The email list would act as a communication tool between like minded people. We could build customized trades, plan for future field sampling and so on.
If you have an interest, let me know (PM me) and I'll see if we hit critical mass to make this work.
