Here is one more! I am a PhD student at Boston University studying the biogeography and synanthropic evolution of the wcm. For a robust study, I need moth samples from all around the globe. I will be sequencing their DNA and comparing them to each other in the hopes of finding some population structure. So far, I still have not had a ton of luck getting samples, so I am switching up my methodology. If this project interests you, send me an email and I will send you a premade kit containing pheromone baited trap, vials of ethanol for preservation, and a return shipping label. Even if you don't think you have moths, if you are interested in any way, let me know and I will send you a trap. All you have to do is set the trap out, date it, and leave it for about 2 months. I will send you a reminder once the two months are up to send me the trap back. Even if there is only one moth on there, I will be overjoyed to receive it. I will also include a hand drawn picture of a moth. Am I a good artist? Not at all. Am I desperate for international samples of webbing clothes moths? Absolutely. Please let me know if this is something you'd like to contribute to! I would be eternally grateful! All the best, Isabel Novick inov...@bu.edu 720-454-8058 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
