John is a retired USF&WS biologist living in Washington State. His collection is first major contribution of living moth photos from the western half of the continent. It is interesting to see how many of the species in his yard are also found in eastern North America.

Jillian lives in Vail, Arizona, about an hour south of Tuscon..

Machele lives in Lake Co., Florida, about midway between Ocala and Orlando. Because of her southerly location an unusually large percentage of her photos are "unique" species, not contributed so far by anyone else. Machele's website (still under development) follows the MPG Model Website Plan. In the near future a download package will be available to anyone wishing to have a personal website following this model. It will contain the three basic page layouts and instructions for their use.

Bob lives in Prince George's County Maryland, near Washington, D.C.. The website is organized much as Machele's, but in a different color scheme and slightly different top-of-page design. It's just a different application of personal taste imposed on a standardized theme. It is also very far from completion at this time. If you would like to adapt either of these page formats for your own use contact Bob Patterson for assistance.

Mark lives on the island of Mayreau, not far from Grenada, in the southern Grenadines of St. Vincent. One might think that this tropical paradise would have little to do with North American moths. But the fact is that of the first 139 of his species for which identifications have been proposed 96 (69%) are on the North American list. And of those, 44 are new to MPG living moth plates. Many of his moths remain to be identified and it is to be hoped that experts in tropical lepidoptera will help in that effort.

Bob began collecting Geometrid moths while living in California, and continues to do so today in central Florida. He has 800+ species in his collection and he will have contributed over 1,000 photos when he finishes photographing them all.

Eric is Chief Entomologist in the Pest Program / Plant Protection Division of the Washington State Dept. of Agriculture. He has photographed many species of Tortricidae (living and specimens) and members of numerous micormoth families. Photographs of some genitalia are included.

Bob collects insects widely throughout Texas and the Southwestern States. He is also the webmaster of several websites dealing in Texas entomology and world-wide lepidoptera.

John has a large collection of Catocala underwing moths. This page shows 27 photos of western species or species otherwise missing from the MPG plates.

Mike Pogue (USNM) and Chuck Harp (Colorado) have been publishing papers on the genus Schinia (Heliothinae, Noctuidae) in the online journal Zootaxa. Some of the specimen photographs used to illustrate those articles are also shown here.

Jim collects moths everywhere in North America. His photo contribution to MPG is massive, with specimen photos gracing every pinned specimen plate. We may get around to posting here some day a count of photos and species. There are several thousand photos so far.

Jim specializes in rearing larvae and collecting adults of the genus Papaipema (Noctuidae). His collection includes almost all species found in North America.

James' statewide website for lepidoptera is the largest of its type in eastern North America. In addition to a very complete state check list, he shows photographs for many species found only in the deep southeastern USA. All this without a digital camera (coming online soon)!

Gary is at the University of Alberta's E. H. Strickland Entomological Museum, and many of his fine photos of Noctuids originate in his kitchen sink (I am not making this up!). The website includes many other insects.

Jerry's website at North Dakota State University contains species pages with maps showing county-by-county distribution of moths and host plants. He is expanding coverage within families, the Arctiidae being a recent example.

Todd's photos formed the basis for the Totricidae Plates at MPG. We have so far acquired only his photos for eastern specimens, so if you need to see western species do visit his website.

Tony did much of his research as a government entomologist at Fundy National Park. In addition to photos from this Canadian Forest Service website, Tony has contributed many others of pinned specimens as well as living moths and larvae.

Jim is the principal photographer of moths in the Canadian National Collection. There are more than 2,000 photographs covering all species of Geometridae and Noctuoidea at this well-indexed website. Smaller versions of these photos are to be found on MPG pinned specimen plates and species pages.

Bruce is at the University of Arizona at Tucson and covers six counties in the southeastern corner of the state. His list stands at 21 families and 1,906 species of which 62% have one or more photographs.
