I was unable to raise the necessary funds to visit the mangroves of Thailand and Indonesia, so I pressed ahead with the book based on the research [...]]]></description>

With the Americas trip over, I&#8217;m taking care of immediate business (writing magazine features, editing, doing a fortnightly radio segment called &#8220;Off the Beaten Track&#8221; on New Zealand&#8217;s national radio program &#8220;Nine Till Noon&#8221;) until late September, when I plan to spend some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ron Rutowski, Professor of Biology at Arizona State University and a lepidopterist whose major area of study is how insects produce and use visual signals in their lives, has sent this link about the snake-mimicking spicebush swallowtail caterpillar. He notes: &#8220;Although the resemblance and its potential advantage appears obvious it has never been confirmed experimentally.&#8221;

He is a carbonero, a charcoal maker, [...]]]></description>

&#8220;My guess is that your spectacular caterpillar belongs to the moth family Sphingidae, the sphinx moths, which include the well-known &#8216;tomato horn worm.&#8217;  Several [...]]]></description>
