It would be good to have some sort of personal message system on here wouldn't it?

My email is the same as my user name on project noah at gmail.com. I don't want to post my full email address (to prevent spam from web email scraping tools). Thank you! Emily

Possibly the most perplexing caterpillar I've ever seen. Is the last photo showing it flipped on its back?

Juan, Can I have your email address? I'd like to ask you some insect identification questions. I just finished with the National Geographic BioBlitz in Saguaro National Park in Tucson, AZ, USA. Thank you! BioBlitzEmily
