Fall, 1984

Editor's Notes : . , c

Well! Fall is coming up fast. Can winter be far

behind? Before too long, we temperate entomologists may begin to
have a bit more time to try and figure out what we ve
accomplished for the 1984 season. If you’ve experienced a summer
anything like we have here in the Madison ’’butterfly lab, then
you know you've accomplished a lot, even if you have felt too
busy to figure out what all of it was yet.

Our Society looks forward to our fall and winter
meetings as a chance to renew old acquaintances, encourage new
members, and stimulate each other with thoughts and ideas for the
coming spring and summer season. Your Executive Council has met
xo begin planning for upcoming events and meetings and I think it
can be a good winter ahead, especially if you show your interest,
support, and participation. One way you can participate is to
think of things, and write down ideas, notes, experiences, or
questions and send them to me for possible inclusion in your next
Newsletter. This is your Newsletter, so please help to keep it
stimulating and valuable to our membership as a sharing and
communication tool. Also, please pay special attention to the
following section "From your President" and please come to our
meeting Tuesday.

From Your President :

“ D u r i tig my

several WES members
great importance to

tenure as President, I have spoken with
on a series of subjects which I feel are of
all of us: member participation in the

Society, program content, and "direction" of the WES. These
subjects are obviously of importance to the vitality of any
organization and should certainly be mulled around by all of us
i f we are to preserve the original intent of the WES as stated in
Article IT of our Constitution:

"Section 1: It shall be the purpose of this
Society to promote the study of entomology in all its branches,
especially as it applies to Wisconsin and the surrounding states;
to facilitate and encourage the exchange of specimens and ideas

by both professional and amateur entomologists, to publish
periodicals and other occasional papers on entomology and related
fields; to promote conservation in the field of Entomology, and
to do that which shall promote the general purpose of this
Society."

To this end, the next meeting of our Society has been
set aside for an open forum on the WES: what it has going for it,
ad what its present and future needs are. Please try to join us,
and bring along an idea or two! We'll also use the time to share
any interesting or unusual insect finds from the past summer's
collecting. I'd be happy to take a stab at any beetles you may be
stumped on, and I'm sure other members could offer assistance on
lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and perhaps other groups as well. We
will have access to microscopes, so don't hesitate to bring along
"small stuff!"

More From the Pres !

As most of you should know if you've been reading your
Newsletters, the WES has sort-of adopted (or been adopted by) the
UW Milwaukee Field Station at Cedarburg Bog. For two summers now,
we've had field collecting trips at the Cedarburg site, and
several of us have toyed with the idea of making it a regular
trip. This would be done in an effort to better identify the
local insect fauna and, eventually, to create a useful teaching-
research reference collection to be housed at the UWM Field
Station. Jim Reinartz, the station's manager, has received us and
our "pet project" most enthusiastically, and has been an
excellent host to several of us over the course of the summer.

Recently, Jim sent me a letter regarding the Field
Station Bulletin, a portion of which reads as follows:

"I am currently arranging the fall 1984 issue of the
Bulletin and was wondering whether you or anyone in your group
that you know of might have some notes to include on the Field
Station insects. We are especially interested in articles
concerning the local area. Please let me know whether you would
consider writing an article or send me the names and addresses of
anyone you think might like to contribute to the Bulletin."

This could be an excellent vehicle for publication of
notes or short studies on the entomofauna of Wisconsin. I
definately plan to consider the Field Station Bulletin for a few
projects I have underway; I hope you will too!

Past Meetings :

On Saturday, September 8, we held our first meeting of
the fall at the Milwaukee Public Museum. Gordon Parris, an
entomologist in the Museum, arranged to have Melinda Myers of the
Milwaukee County University Extension Office and her husband,
Julian Wesley of the Boerner Botanical Garden, speak on some of
the common and some of the more interesting insect related
problems that they have encountered in their care of parks as
well as in their interactions with the public. The title of their
talk was "Skeletonizers in your Closet." Before and after the
meeting, refreshments of cheese, crackers, cider, and lemonade
were served.

Upcoming Meetings :

Tuesday, 9 Oct., 7:30 P.M., 150 Russell Labs.: This

meeting will be a discussion of present and
future goals for our Society as well as
meeting and special event formats and ideas
for our Newsletter. In addition, everyone is
invited to bring along some specimens to show,
get help in identifying, or share anecdotes
about .

Tuesday, 13 Nov., 7:30 P.M., 150 Russell Labs.: This

will be our second annual Photo Salon. Look
through those slides from last summer and
pick out about 5 that you'd be willing to
share with the rest of us. If you don't have
any photos don't worry. Just come and enjoy
sights (and the refreshments!). Look for your
meeting notice in the mail for more info.

Classifieds :

Wanted: Records of Wisconsin underwing moths

(Noctuidae: Catocalinae) for proposed publication. Will identify
any questionable specimens. All contributors will be
acknowledged. Contact Les Ferge, 7119 Hubbard Ave., Middleton
Wise. 53562.

Wanted: Wish to exchange specimens of Wisconsin
Coleoptera (larvae as well as adults). Actually, I should be
happy to arrange exchange of beetles from other areas as well.
While my research interests focus on the "heteromerous" families,
I maintain a general collection of larval and adult Coleoptera
and have a broad interest in the systematics and bionomics of all
groups. Contact: Dan Young, Dept, of Entomology, UW Madison, Wi.

53706.

Wanted: Records of Wisconsin (and other Great Lakes

region) Erotylidae for eventual publication. At this point, I am
primarily interested in adults and would be willing to provide
speies level determinations for any unidentified material from
this region. Data relative to fungal associations would be
particularly useful. Contact: Dan Young, Dept, of Entomology, UW
Madison, Wi . 53706.
