Photo permission for educational use?

Hi Andrew Block,
I am an extension agent from Rutgers Univ. in NJ. I am creating a lecture on the ecological benefits of using native ferns including supporting habitat for host species. May you grant me permission to use your sensitive fern borer moth photos in my slide show promoting the use of Native Ferns in NJ Landscapes?

Sincerest thanks,

Jean Epiphan

Sure. As long as you give me

Sure. As long as you give me credit. I usually ask for a copy of the publication too, but guess you don't have one to send;-) Thanks for asking.

Andrew

Thanks Paul. Don't know why I labelled it as the other one. Go figure.

MPG

Moth Photographers Group inexplicably has two live inquaesita photos on its polymniae page, which causes this misidentification to happen pretty often. Its map is also very wrong, as polymniae isn't actually found outside of the Southeast... :/

Well that explains it. I mus

Well that explains it. I must have used that site for the id. That's why it's wise to use more than one book for ids.:-)
