This list is being made for butterfly enthusiasts of ALL levels! But I would like to try to limit the topics of discussions somewhat. We'll see how things go:

* Don't attach photos. I'd rather we all used photo sharing web sites (Flickr, etc.) to share images. This can help with data usage.

* Please keep the discussion (mostly) to butterflies of New Hampshire. There is an active email group already in Massachusetts at least and possibly in other surrounding states.

* Posting about other insects (especially moths) are OK.
