Dr. Axel Hausmann and Vincent Maicher in front of the Munich’s collection.

Vincent is currently visiting the huge Lepidoptera section of the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology in Munich. He is working on identification of moths collected by an intensive bait trapping during our fieldwork in Mt. Cameroon. Because of our long-term collaboration with Dr. Axel Hausmann, a leader of the section, on processing of all Geometrid moths from our Cameroonian collections, Vincent is trying to help also with processing of this material.
