  • The Mcguire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity
    Supplemental Information All specimens used within this study are housed in: the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity (MGCL) at the Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, USA (FLMNH); the University of Maryland, College Park, USA (UMD); the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris, France (MNHN); and the Australian National Insect Collection in Canberra, Australia (ANIC). Methods DNA extraction protocol of dried museum specimens (detailed instructions) Prior to tissue sampling, dried (pinned or papered) specimens were assigned MGCL barcodes, photographed, and their labels digitized. Abdomens were then removed using sterile forceps, cleaned with 100% ethanol between each sample, and the remaining specimens were returned to their respective trays within the MGCL collections. Abdomens were placed in 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes with the apex of the abdomen in the conical end of the tube. For larger abdomens, 5 mL microcentrifuge tubes or larger were utilized. A solution of proteinase K (Qiagen Cat #19133) and genomic lysis buffer (OmniPrep Genomic DNA Extraction Kit) in a 1:50 ratio was added to each abdomen containing tube, sufficient to cover the abdomen (typically either 300 µL or 500 µL) - similar to the concept used in Hundsdoerfer & Kitching (1). Ratios of 1:10 and 1:25 were utilized for low quality or rare specimens. Low quality specimens were defined as having little visible tissue inside of the abdomen, mold/fungi growth, or smell of bacterial decay. Samples were incubated overnight (12-18 hours) in a dry air oven at 56°C. Importantly, we also adjusted the ratio depending on the tissue type, i.e., increasing the ratio for particularly large or egg-containing abdomens.

  • An Attempted Caterpillar Ingestion - Case Report Amar K
    Bhardwaj et al. Journal of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (2020) 49:70 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40463-020-00470-1 CASE REPORT Open Access A prickly situation: an attempted Caterpillar ingestion - case report Amar K. Bhardwaj1, Naif Fnais2,3 and Christopher J. Chin1,4,5* Abstract Background: Foreign body ingestion is a common problem in pediatrics. Each foreign body can present its’ own unique challenges during removal, and we present the management of an ingested Spotted Tussock Moth (Lophocampa maculata), more commonly known as a caterpillar. Case presentation: An 18-month-old boy presented to the emergency department with difficulty handling secretions and odynophagia. It was reported he had placed a caterpillar in his mouth and then spat it out. On examination, hundreds of miniscule filaments (setae) were seen embedded in his lips and tongue. Our service was consulted out of concern for airway involvement. The patient was taken to the operating room where a direct laryngoscopy under general anesthesia with spontaneous ventilation was performed to confirm the setae were confined to the anterior tongue and lips. Once we were satisfied the airway was stable, the airway was secured, and we then began to remove the setae. The initial method used was to use Adson-Brown forceps to remove the setae, however this proved difficult and time-consuming given the volume of setae and how thin the setae were. Ultimately, a more effective technique was developed: a 4 × 4 AMD-RITMES® gauze was applied to the mucosa in order to dry up any secretions and then a piece of pink, waterproof BSN medical® tape was applied to the mucosa.

The largest attendance on one day was 2,658, namely, on Monday, the 3rd October; and the largest Sunday attendance was 1,233, on the 17th July. The average daily number throughout the year was 330 en week-days and 709 on Sundays. The orderly conduct of the visitors on all these occasions, and the apparently intelligent interest taken by a large portion of them in the exhibits, afford gratifying evidence of their value, as affording not merely amusement but also useful instruction. · 2. The collections are still being increased, mainly by purchases, exchanges, and donations, but also by our collecting and dredging expeditions.

  • Proposal of Wildlife Trade Operation for David Cassat (PDF
    Proposal for Wild Harvest and Export of Invertebrates submitted for approval under EPBC Act 1999 1. Title and introduction This section should identify the species concerned, the management authority (if applicable), relevant State and Commonwealth legislation and a general introduction to the management regime. Suggested content includes: 1.1 Scientific name(s) 1.2 Common name (if applicable) 1.3 Location of harvest 1.4 Description of what is being harvested (for example, live animals; skins; meat; larvae; eggs; branches; whole plants), including size and (juvenile or mature) age of the specimen(s). Where possible, please include a photograph of the specimen. 1.5 Is the species protected under State or Federal legislation? If so, provide details of the legislation and the status of the species under the legislation. 1. Introduction The purpose of this proposed operation is to supply local and over-seas insect collectors with legally harvested insect specimens. The applicant has collected insects in SE NSW for approximately 20 years and is very familiar with the species and habitats of the area. This knowledge and experience is invaluable in determining where and when to collect, as well as what quantities per taxon are suitable for sustainable harvesting. Taxa covered This proposal covers the harvest of invertebrate species included in the taxa listed in the Appendix, except for those species listed under the EPBC Act as threatened (excluding the conservation dependent category), endangered, or vulnerable. The Appendix also includes an annual quota to be harvested per taxa that must not be exceeded. The list can be amended by DEWHA if additional information becomes available on a particular species within a taxon.

  • Friends of Morwell National Park Inc. Newsletter – October 2019
    PO Box 19 Churchill Friends of 3842 Morwell National Park Inc. Newsletter – October 2019 Website: http://morwellnp.pangaean.net Official Address of FMNP - [email protected] A0016319X Hello everyone and welcome to this month’s newsletter. This month we have a special article from Ken about the March bushfire and the effects on insects which has been reposted from the Victorian Entomologist. This can be found at the end of the newsletter. Our next activity will run a week later than planned. Our Orchid Walk and Koala Count will now be on Sunday 27th October. The change is happening because a number of the group will be at a Field Naturalists activity on the same day as our original activity. Looking through both the membership and email lists it has been found that we have many people who were previously members and are still receiving the newsletter. We will need to follow up these people to see whether they want to renew their memberships and/or receive the newsletter. A number of other people have previously requested a newsletter but now have no involvement with the group. Most people who receive the newsletter receive it via email, but a few still receive it via mail. For many years Parks staff would send these newsletters out to a few members without email. Over the last year only one newsletter has been sent via post. It would seem that they have stopped doing this (or have forgotten) so we will now need to do a mail out to keep these members informed.
