I am Peter Smetacek, just completed 49 years. Thank you for inviting me to this forum. My interests are butterflies and moths, but mainly the living creatures. I am trying to develop a 'language' of bioindicators to understand the health of forest and other ecosystems. The intention is to stabilize failing groundwater systems in the Himalaya (qhich is where I live). Also interested in popularizing butterflies and moths, so have developed an app for butterfly identification(Common Indian Butterflies), origami butterflies (again, Common Indian Butterflies Vols 1, 2; Common Himalayan Butterflies in press). Have written a memoir (Butterflies on the roof of the world; Aleph 2012). Other things, too. I do not sell or exchange butterflies. I have a reasonable collection of Indian butterflies and moths, more about it on the facebook page, Butterfly Research Centre. I look forward to discussions here.

Welcome Peter, it is great to see you joining. I am sure many members will already at least know your name, and older ones will remember Fred too. We all look forward to your posts and sharing your vast knowledge of NW Himalayan butterflies and moths.

Hello Everyone. My call sign is Trehopr1. I am 54 years old and have had a lifelong interest / passion for Entomology (since age 5). I am from the U.S / Illinois. My first love in this science & hobby has always been Butterflies --- first and foremost. However, the whimsical homopteran family known as treehoppers (Membracidae) peaked my interest back in 1979 and as so have remained a side interest. Over the years I have collected around 1200 specimens of them representing nearly half of the 95 species known from my state. I do adore Saturniidae and Arctiidae. I also have a special place in my heart for large showy beetles of any kind... Insect architecture has also fascinated me to a degree so I have a side collection of wasp nests that I have retrieved over the years --- 30 sizable ones in all. Lastly, another side interest has been Theraphosidae (tarantulas). And like everything else I have a small but,beautifully prepared collection of them numbering about 30. I look forward to many delightful discussions here on this forum.
