We have been field observers of tropical insects on four continents and, since 1978, intense
observers of caterpillars, their parasites, and their associates in the 1,260 km2 of dry, cloud …

Interception of potential invasive species at ports-of-entry is essential for effective biosecurity
and biosurveillance programs. However, taxonomic assessment of the immature stages of …
