Dear Deepa, Vanakkam! Greetings from Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Am in the same boat. I started getting interest in observing butterflies only in the last few months (six odd). All I did was got a copy of a good field guide and for every image shared, try reading the details from the book. Then I also try searching for images through google from where you get one or the other form (UP, UN, DSF and WSF) of the sps. I save all these images in separate folders for referencing again...
Enjoying the joy of learning... ;-) I do this by sharing the little I've learnt with my son (4th Std). We also play quiz in recognizing the names... Now we can confidently identify and recognize quite a few... regards, ramjee ----- Original Message ----- From: Deepa Mohan To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 10:16 AM Subject: Re: [ButterflyIndia] Please help....

On the butterflyindia egroup; I get the feeling that unless I post "rare" or "expert" photos, I will not get any response. But as a beginner, how would I know which are the rare and common ones unless I get help to learn the different names? I have asked for help earlier, but did not get a response, so I am doubly grateful to you for responding! Beginners (like me) need to learn the common butterflies/moths first, before going to more "advanced" levels; and I often find that the behaviour of "common" species is as fascinating as that of the "rare" ones. And since there is the "open-wing" and "closed-wing" appearance, as well as the "dry-season" and "wet season" appearance, as well as the caterpillar an larvae id, it's going to be a very slow process as far as I am concerned! With gratitude, Deepa. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Enjoy -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
