Official Stats. for "Hunting for Caterpillars"

Hi Everyone,

I just received the statistics from the scientists outlining what we accomplished in the swamps of Louisiana. Wow. It sure was a lot of hard work - but fun!

*Collected, photographed, identified, logged-in and cared for a total of 559 individual specimens (caterpillars) from plots and general collections in the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area.

*Identified caterpillars from at least 12 different families of Lepidoptera
