Lophocampa maculata
Hi,
I am a biochemist at Lewis & Clark College in ****tland, Oregon. I am
conducting a research project on Lophocampa maculata, the spotted tussock
moth. I have been working with the species captured in Western Oregon. I
would like to do a series of comparative studies between the individuals I
have from Oregon and individuals from Eastern Canada or the Northeastern
U.S. I am trying to find someone who could provide me with either eggs or
first instar larvae this summer from a locaton in Northeastern North
America. I realize this will not be easy but I am hoping you might have
some
ideas as how to proceed. Perhaps through the Lepidopterist Society I might
be able to contact someone who could help me. Any suggestions you might
have
would be appreciated. I would, of course, cover the expense of ****pping
them
to me.
Thank you for consideration of my request.
Sincerely,
Ken Strothkamp
Visiting Associate Professor of Chemistry
