Sometimes we learn more from our failures than our successes. I've certainly made my fair share of mistakes raising caterpillars over the years but the good thing is that I learned from it. And now I can share my knowledge with you guys and my new trainee at MOSI. She's working out quite well, by the way. I'm going to take some of my butterfly books this weekend so she can look through them and see which ones she might want to buy. I think I have an extra copy of the Florida Butterfly field guide somewhere around here but finding it will be the problem. And now I'm wondering if I even remembered to give her one of our good brochures from the museum! I better go make myself a list before I forget all this stuff.
