Other item of interest: Andy spent 3.5 months on study leave in November 1992- January 1993, working at collections around Australia. He spent 2 months at ANIC (Australian National Insect Collection) and 3 weeks doing field work in Northern Territory. Results were mediocre due to the prolonged dry season.
