The library has grown almost as fast
as our collections. A second full set
of compactors was just installed in the
library to accommodate new acquisitions.
Daidria and Delano Lewis are working
as part time librarians.


Volunteers
UF students, Sam Landrian, Shelly
Flanagin, Kevin Carty, and Lyndall
Brezina are assisting in curating and
databasing collections. High school
students, such as Ian Segebarth
and Patrick McCaffrey
also work as volunteers.
Mark J. Simon,
a physician, who has had
a life long-interest in
Lepidoptera, is currently
recurating the neotropical Isis Jaimez
Charaxinae. Isis Jaimez is visiting
from Venezuela, where she studied
satyrines. She will be volunteering in the
collections while studying English at UF.
Dale Habeck, retired from Entomology
Dept. and curates moths and immatures.

Anthony Darrell, a
retired USDA taxonomist
has been working in the
library for the last two
years. Bob Eisele works on
Argentine butterflies that
he donated to the McGuire
Bob Eisele Ceneter. Gary Ross, of
Baton Rouge, donated his

loaned his Zapatec Indian
tapestries and paintings
for exhibiting at the
McGuire Center; he made
presentations at the 2006
Gary Ross Florida Butterfly Festival.


Collections and Acquisitions


All of the diverse collections at the
McGuire Center have been merged
now into a single collection. This was
not a small task. There were more than
100 separate collections in the building
when we moved in; two of these (Allyn
Museum and DPI) were in excess of
1.5 million specimens each. Some
private new donations were also very
large, such as Austin's collection of
350,000 specimens. With 10,000 new
CalAcademy-type drawers that were
purchased prior to the opening of the
Center, we were able to organize the
collections of Riodinidae, Lycaenidae
and Hesperiidae as well as a large
portion of the moth collection. These
now are located in the new compactors
on the 1st and 2nd floors.

The larger butterflies and moths
are housed in Cornell drawers in
compactors on the lower level. The
curation of these groups is in progress.

Meanwhile, we have recently received
several major collections. Fortunately,
the space in the compactors will not
be an issue for many years to come
as there is room for 70,000 drawers
(50,000 CalAcademy and 20,000
Cornell). Purchases of unit trays have
been made, totalling 60,000 trays.


Phenology of a Moth Community in
North-Central Florida:
George Austin and Andrei Sourakov
have been analyzing richness and
phenology of the moth fauna in North-










1100 species were collected from a
single locality (George's backyard)
adjacent to Paynes Prairie near
Gainesville. Sampling, databasing,
and analyzing nearly 14,000 specimens
collected in 2005 has allowed
determination of seasonal fluctuations in
species richness and relative abundance.
Other Gifts:
Bioacoustics Laboratory
John Moran's Photography Prints
Monarch Society
Joseph Sheer Lepidoptera Scans
(See next issue for details)


One of the problems that has haunted most
insect collections is the expense of the in-
sect drawers. Though the McGuire Center
is a unique facility in many respects, here
too the growth of collections is ahead of
our ability to buy new drawers. We hope
that with the help of grants and private
gifts, we will overcome this in the near
future.

each of the societies. Presentations
of scientific papers followed for four
days, with three special symposia
devoted to Southern Lepidoptera,
Neotropical Lepidoptera, and a
student symposium on the Behavior
of Lepidoptera. In all, there were 13
posters and 76 oral presentations over
the four day meetings, and of these, 19
were by student, our future generation
of lepidopterists.

During the Annual Banquet,
William McGuire, a lepidopterist
whose donations helped build the
Center, delivered an address to the
participants on "The Significance of
Museum Collections in the Future,"
and their use in world biodiversity
and conservation studies. This
was followed by Felix Sperling,
on "Collectors, Collections, and
Collegial Connections." Rebecca
Simmons announced the winners of
Lepidopterists' Society awards. The
William D. Winter Service Award
was given to Julian P. Donahue,
formerly of the Los Angeles County
Museum, for his continued service to
the Society. The Alexander B. Klots
Award for the best student poster was

night of the meeting
awarded to Sangmi Lee, Mississippi
Entomological Museum, Mississippi
State University. There were so many
excellent student oral presentations
that the judges' deliberations resulted
in a three-way tie between Jennifer
Zaspel (Dept. of Entomology,
University of Florida), Todd Gilligan,
(Dept. of Entomology, Ohio State
University), and Sarah Garrett (Dept.
of Biology, Wake Forest University).
Charles V. Covell, Jr., ably assisted by
Annie Lott and Susan Weller, presided
over the evening's door prizes.

The Lepidopterists' Society held its
Executive Board Meeting, while the
Association for Tropical Lepidoptera
and the Southern Lepidopterists'
Society held their business meetings
during the meeting period.


On Sunday, June 18th, after the
final scientific presentations, the
Lepidopterists' Society business
meeting took place, with Felix
Sperling presiding. Students from
a number of institutions sang the
meeting resolutions to a version of Dr.
Suess' "Oh, The Places You'll Go."
In-coming President William Conner
received the honorary symbols of
the office and concluded the official
meetings at 11:45 a.m.

Meeting of the Andean Butterfly Project


The first international planning meeting
of the Tropical Andean Butterfly
Diversity Project (TABDP) was held
at the McGuire Center between 20-30
April 2006, with representatives of the
principal organizations and institutions
involved in the project.

The first three days of the meeting
involved a practice run through the
lectures and practical that were
designed to form part of a one-week
training course for South American
students in tropical Andean butterflies.
The logistics of running the student
courses were discussed, including
dates, potential locations, equipment
available, advertising, criteria for


student evaluation, and potential course
instructors.

Subsequent days involved discussions
of other project activities, including
specimen databasing methods and
protocols, data ownership, methods of
data analysis and planned publications.
The database developed for project
members to use was demonstrated, and
each member country received a digital
camera for photography of specimens in
their collections.

Mexican Database Project
Since September 2004, Jackie Miller,
Carmen Pozo (ECOSUR, Mexico),
Armando Luis Martinez and Jorge
Llorente (UNAM, Mexico), and their
associates have worked on databasing
Mexican Lepidoptera at the McGuire
Center. These include specimens from
older collections (e.g., of Tarsicio
Escalante) and from more recent
biological surveys completed by Robert
Wind, Eduardo Welling, and Lee and
Jackie Miller, which provide timelines for
biodiversity studies. Thus far, more than
42,000 specimens have been databased.
There are more than 800 separate
localities recorded from 30 of the 32
states that comprise Mexico. The oldest
specimens were collected in 1904, but
more than 50% of the butterflies were
collected by the Millers in the 1960s and
70s, mostly across the Transvolcanic
Belt in central Mexico and points south.
This information, taken in conjunction
with the larger database at UNAM,
will enable researchers to track the
geographic distribution of species over
time, to assess their current distribution,
and to help identify those species that
may be in peril. In conjunction with
geospatial data as well as ecological and
climatic observations, these data will be
invaluable in planning future reserves in
Mexico.

Monarch colonies, numbering roughly
200 million, with some of the highest
levels of flight activity seen in over 25
years of visiting Mexico.
A December 2006 educational trip
took a group of 13 on a 83-foot yacht
to the Galapagos Islands. McGuire
Center staff and local guides led
daily terrestrial explorations. Diving
among the underwater life was led by
experienced dive-masters.

The Rainforest

The McGuire Center Butterfly Rainforest is a 6,400 square foot, 65-foot
tall, steel and screen living exhibit. Its walkway meanders through lush
tropical foliage and encounters five waterfalls. The 430 species of nectar-
producing tropical and subtropical plants support 1,500-2000 butterflies
of over 110 species. It is the largest living exhibit of its kind in the world.
During the dry, hot conditions of early summer, there is a high pressure
fog system to supplement the waterfalls in humidifying and cooling the
vivarium. Butterflies in the exhibit come as pupae from butterfly farms
in the Philippines, Malaysia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Surinam, Ecuador,
Belize and Florida.

government to spend part of the year working in
the field in that country.


Butterfly Rainforest of the McGuire Center


The Rainforest is a favorite field trip destination for school groups around
Florida. Teachers usually develop a curriculum segment around their
visit. It also serves as a living laboratory for many university students and
visiting scientists. University classes study animal behavior, ecosystems,
photography, botany, horticulture, landscape architecture, and plant
medicine. Graduate student Christian Salcedo spent evenings for three
months in the Rainforest observing Zebra Longwing roosting behavior, and
Matthew Lehnert studied Papilio garamas there. In the adjacent Rearing
Laboratory, artificial diets as well as host plant and nectar source nutritional
components are explored.
