Focused on #NewBflyUSA again tonight. Starting to think this would have made a great Masters or PhD for someone. Still 100% fun though!

I mean, there is so much to the story- morphology of adults & genitalia, DNA analysis, biogeography, & tons of cool literature! #NewBflyUSA

My goal is to just illustrate the process- from initial discovery to formal publication, of a butterfly we recently detected #NewBflyUSA

Though starting a bit late, I'm going to try to live-tweet the process of naming this new butterfly. Will use #NewBflyUSA as I go...
