Thanks

for your help now and many other times. Can you tell us a little about yourself in your account page?

Dr. Michael C. Thomas

is a well known leader among professional entomologists. His academic and publishing accomplishments are only hinted at in Wikipedia. He must also be a modest man as most members of Bug Guide know him only as "Mike Thomas". Mike's contributions here are very much appreciated.

Yes,

I know that and you know that but most contributors don't. That is why it is good to have a few words in the account page.

Ditto comment for Dr. Terry Erwin

- a professional giant in the carabid world. BugGuiders would benefit from reading some of his background and interests on the profile page.

Thanks much Terry for the neat articles cited above.
