My favorite has to be the Urbanus proteus. It was just collected yesterday morning. I wish I had photographed it before I put it behind the glass. It is hard to get a clean shot through the glass.

Just thought I would share. With the exception of the top ?tiger? swallowtail, all of these were collected in my back yard this September. Many of them are heavily damaged, either from my amateur spreading or just collected that way. As my collection and spreading skills grow, they will be replaced. btw, sorry for the glare. I was too lazy to set up a shot without the flash.

If those lights are what are used in bug zappers, then I already have a small one. I found an old bug zapper in the barn that lights up but doesn't zap anymore. There is a good possibility that there are a couple more that I haven't discovered yet still hidden in one of the barns or sheds on my property. I replaced one of the blacklights with it.
Another question, am I supposed to have both the mv light and the blacklights on at the same time, or use them separately?

Having learned from earlier tiny specimens, I decided to take a live photo of this little guy and let it go rather than destroy another tiny moth. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

This is one of my early specimens that I got before knew not to stick pins through the wings to spread them. I also didn't know about recording data on the capture. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

There is also this tiny guy. I had found an id, but forgot to record the name and need to look it up again. This is one of the ones that taught me that I have zero skill when it comes to spreading the tiny specimens.
