Wrote... Sir, My name is Amelia Stewart. I am the granddaughter of Amelia Evans. My grandmother is the daughter of John Evans Jr. and Ella Kirkland Evans. My great- grandmother, Ella Kirkland, was ½ Catawba Indian and ½ black. On the 1880 Census she is listed in Flat Rock, Kershaw, South Carolina at the age of 6 months—the daughter of Sallie Kirkland and Thomas—It is spelled Thos Kirkland— I am trying to trace my Catawba Indian line. I don’t know how successful I will be but I must try.

Wrote... Does the mantid nest case require winter temperature cycling to be viable. I came across a nice one today while bow huting and thought it would be great for a science teacher I know to set up so his kids could watch the hatching but I was not sure if the nest had to be kept outside for the winter to make it viable or is the hatching simply a function of a time period like a gestation period in mamals.

According to the information on your website, we believe we have found a Giant Leopard Moth. If this is true, how far north can these be found? We live in central Iowa. We would love to know more about our furry friend!

I believe one of my ancesters Elizabeth C Oday born in 1852/1852 is either part or full blood catawba. We're working on our family tree & would just like to know so I can tell my Granny who her gr-grandmother was.

Wrote... I've been observing ruby throated hummingbirds in my backyard for the past six years. In the spring, they usually arrive within a day or two of the previous year. I live in Burlington, Ontario. I am interested to find out about their route south. I wonder if the recent hurricanes affected their migration. By the way, it is October 6 and I had a migrating hummingbird here yesterday. Our zone is 5b - similar to NC and it has been a gorgeous, hot fall. Thanx

Wrote... I loved the black rat snake story. I have at least 2 that live in my garage. I found them atop a door about a month ago intertwined. One is 6 feet long! The other is smaller. They were very curious about me and leaned forward and down to look while I stretched to look at them. My biggest snake has been living in my garage for about 5 years. It allows me to pet it and waits at my feet for me to open the door if it is closed. The big one also submits to being picked up in an emergency (like when the garage door has been open all day and I begin to lower the door only to find that the snake has taken a nap on the door and falls to the ground when I lower it. I will pick it up and put it inside the garage out of harms way. it will procede to climb the wall and rest above the insulation! Love my snakes!!

Wrote... I just returned from an 8 day trip to the Guanacaste Province (Pacific Ocean site), Costa Rica. I think this is the most beautiful, diverse country in the world. I am planning my second trip there this comming year, possibly as early as January. Our first day there we observed a hummer(unknown) for about 5 seconds perched on a twig in a low growing palm tree. Even though we stayed in a resort, I did observe lots of birds, insects, and even heard the daily 5=am howler monkeys on nearby hillsides. I took some beautiful pictures of the area, and want to visit again to try the Carribbean side of the country next...jj

Wrote... I found the site yesterday. Commented about my Hickory Nut Trees. I sampled my first ever Hickory nut yesterday. Very tasty. I gathered over a hundred more tonight. There are many trees on the property so the bears won't go hungry. Yes... I've had a black bear in my back yard three times in the last two Months. My question, however, is about a butterfly or moth. I don't know what it is. The image I have is on a different computer. I took a digital snapshot. It was all black and had an upside down crucifix shaped white marking on each wing. For a lack of a better name I labeled it a crucifix moth. No one has been ble to identify it yet. Any ideas? - John PS - As a young teen I worked for three Summers in a camp run by the NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation. I worked closely with some future science teachers from various NY colleges. One student also named one of their findings... it was an aquatic animal like those horse head shaped sea creatures with the curly tails. Sea Horses. I am not making this up.. they named it Horsey Giddyupis. Of course..I realized...quite a while later..that they...were the ones that were making it up. Whoooaaa !

It's late Sept.and many finches are still around although not in bright color. We saw several banded birds and wondered if someone would want to know about them and how we could capture and report the band I.D. We would want not to injure or harass them. Could someone e-mail and let us know.

Wrote... Thanks for the information on mud dauber wasps which I found on your website. This morning I saw a wasp going to and fro in my apartment, not paying it too much attention, but making sure to stay out of its way. I finally realised in the early afternoon that it was making a nest in my bedroom behind the curtain valance. After it had finsihed laying down some mud and had gone in search of either more mud or prey, I removed the nest. It was an amazing beautiful structure. two perfectly cylindrical clay nests no longer than two inches each. I destroyed them to see inside. There were these small green looking balls and a whole lot of legs, which I now realise belonged to spiders. All this was very interesting and caused me to immediately go online to find out more about this wasp. But what has caused me even to write about the experience is the guilt that I know feel, because this wasp came back and I can feel her confusion and frustration and not being able to find the nest that she so carefully constructed and left for not more than half an hour. She has been fying around the area sniffing around, going out and coming back in, seeming to me to try to ensure that this really is the place that she had been building her nest. I feel so terrible. But I am intrigued at the same time to see what she actually does. I get the feeling that she may simply just start building again, as I have seen her go right back behind the valance. I am waiting for her to leave again to see whether or not she will simply rebuild. With all the reading that I have done on your website and what I have seen for myself, I have come to believe that this is a most fascinating insect. I think I have found a new hobby!!
