Pieris angelika


Norbert Kondla
 

This morning I noticed that Heiner Ziegler had uploaded pics of some Pieris angelika paratypes to iNaturalist.
These modern digital images are much better than the old printed-on-paper images in the original publication; so I cropped them and made a digital plate with said images. https://flic.kr/p/2omwd68
Technology and free internet information has reached the point that anyone can use free software to create their own 'field guide' or other reference compilations and take it into the field on a small digital device.

Pretty slick, Norbert. Well, we field guide writers have been on the way out for a long time. Cait's & my B'flies of the PNW has just come out in a pretty new format, so I guess it'll stick around for a while. Of course, we like to think that it brings something personal to the encounter. And...no batteries! Never mind; the more tools, the better.

I love your book!  Hard copy field guides are my favorite relaxing material.
