No. 46 NEWSLETTER Summer 2000
WEST MIDLANDS BRANCH, BUTTERFLY CONSERVATION
Instructions for Contributors
Hand-written articles will be transcribed and returned for checking. Printed
documents are less prone to transcription errors and can often be scanned in.
Laser printed 14 point copy usually scans perfectly, 12 point is OK but 10 point
is hopeless. Text on 3.5” disc is best of all but please send or attach to your
email unformatted text (e.g. “save as” a “.txt” file under MS Word, not as a
“.doc” file) as some formatted texts received recently, especially by email,
have proved to be totally unreadable and, unlike a .txt file, could contain
viruses, which frighten me to death. Newer software often produces files which
are incompatible with older software even of the same name.
Pictures will normally be scanned in and should be black and white. (The final
reprographic process for printing off the newsletter does not do justice to
‘grey scale’ or colour). Note that, unlike text, pictures cannot be modified by
me (except for size adjustment).
Copyright: Pictures for publication must of course be free of copyright
restrictions.
Spelling: I will try to correct obvious spelling mistakes unless this affects
the writer’s style but, in the cause of achieving a consistent format, will use
the Word UK dictionary spelling where there are several options.

Mothers Group goes High Tech!
Recently the Mothers Group has set up a web-site to contain useful and up to
date information about the moths in the West Midlands. We hope that it will be
useful to members of the Moth Group and the Branch as a whole This site has
grown in size since its first instar stage of life only a few months ago and has
had over 100 hits. This means that, on 100 separate occasions, people have
looked at the main page of the site. So far this has been Branch members and a
few others that I contacted in the electronic mothing field.
We have also provided links to other web-sites of similar interest.
For this reason please feel free to submit anything you would like (especially
pictures please!) to go on the site to the following e-mail address:
droitwich@btinternet.com
You will find the site at:
