Hello- I write to ask if anyone on the list is maintaining colonies of tortoise beetles, or knows of reliable suppliers that are maintaining tortoise beetle colonies (as unlikely as that possibility may be).
I'm looking for either the mottled tortoise beetle, Deloyala guttata, or the golden tortoise beetle, Charidotella (aka Metriona) bicolor. Please respond to me directly; if there is sufficient interest, I'll post a summary of the responses I get. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- John Stinchcombe Department of Botany University of Toronto, 25 Willcocks St. Toronto, ON Canada M5S 3B2 416-946-5986 http://www.botany.utoronto.ca/ResearchLabs/StinchcombeLab/
