An account of insect collecting on sunny days in Northern England volume 1, the shortest book in history. I am sure that a book on summer butterfly collecting in Iceland would be shorter. Adam. |

Yes Iceland and Yorkshire, the "hotbeds" of entomology. Dunc, We could write one together - it would be an international bestseller and we would make millions - or maybe not. Adam. |

you guys are killin' me, I'm laughing so hard I've tears in my eyes.
This has to be my favorite: "Micro-Leps as inspiration for young collectors and friends"
This could be spun into one of those info-mercials: "Let us tell you how to make thousands of dollars selling Micro-Leps at the LA Insect Show!"
Here's another: Book of Entomology Lumping of Ornithoptera (Japanese edition only)

"Dunc,

A riveting read it would be, but even better would be the lepidoptera of inner Glasgow, a work so big it had to be split into 12 volumes, and before anybody complains I am half Scottish.
