LEPS-L: The Lepidoptera Listserver

The Lepidoptera Listserver, or LEPS-L, is a general purpose electronic forum for those with an interest in butterflies and moths.

The LEPS-L FAQ Sheet contains a comprehensive discussion of LEPS-L and sci.bio.entomology.lepidoptera, with information not covered on this web page, including hints and links to sites that allow you to search the email archives of these forums.

There is a gateway that connects LEPS-L to the Usenet Newsgroup called sci.bio.entomology.lepidoptera (S.B.E.L.), and this means that submissions sent to the former cross-post to the latter, and vice versa. You need only partake of one or the other venue, not both. The volume of messages on LEPS-L and S.B.E.L. varies, but at present generally runs between 5 to 25 per day.

Membership in LEPS-L and S.B.E.L. is open to anyone with e-mail or Usenet News service. The traffic across LEPS-L and S.B.E.L. is also maintained in searchable email archives.
