WBA’s annual conference will be coordinated this year with the annual meeting of the Lepidopterists’ Society. As of mid-June, we have a combined (WBA/LepSoc) registration of approximately150 people planning to attend our combined conference in Leavenworth during July 8-11! LEPSOC 2010: The Young Ones! has attracted lepidopterists from around the U.S. and a few from across the globe, with delegates from Japan, The Netherlands, Canada, and Finland. The theme celebrates immature Lepidoptera and youthful lepidopterists. This will be a great opportunity to meet butterfly and moth people from outside the Pacific Northwest and to help familiarize them with our unique Cascadian fauna. Conversely, you will be able to learn more about butterflies and moths from other professional and citizen scientists, some of whom will be visiting Washington for the first time. Please join us for a great Lepidoptera experience in Leavenworth in July!
