Has anyone been to Greenland in the last 10 years?
I'd really be most grateful for this,
Thanx a million,

Sorry, have no idea: the clasical book may be a bit out of date by now:
Wolff, N.L. 1964. The Lepidoptera of Greenland. Meddelelser om Gronland 159(11): 1-74, figs. 1-55; plates 1-21.

Unless someone here can help you, it might be worth contacting someone on:

Lepidopterologisk Forening

Good luck!
