I would like to thank Dr. Lee Dyer and  Dr. Scott Shaw with their help with identifying some of the insects in the insect gallery.

Thank you to Dr. Scott Shaw for donating some of your pictures and for inviting me to take part in this great adventure.  I had a great time and learned a lot! 

Guinevere Jones, we all know you planned and organized this trip.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank you to the National Science Foundation for funding grant number 0717458:  Collaborative Research:  Caterpillars and Parasitoids in the Eastern Andes of Ecuador 

Finally, I would like to thank my husband, Aram, for never doubting my abilities (even when I do) and supporting me in everything I choose to do and my kids for their never ending enthusiasm.
