I tried to post this multiple times, by email but the LISTSERV's Spam filters
ate it every time.  It did not like the mention of vitamins and diet abd a
URL, I guess.  

Anyhow, I'm trying to fool them this time by posting from the web interface.

Has anyone else had messages eaten by the LISTSERV?

I looked up ascorbic acid in the index of  "Insect Diets" by Allen Carson 
Cohen (Do you have that one, Bob?) and see 14 lines each of which contains 
multiple page references, so it figures strongly in insect diets.  I have an 
appointment and don't have time to read them all, but Vitamin C seems to be 
significant in insect diets.

Moreover, on BEE-L years ago, Andy revealed that Tang is the "secret 
ingredient" in some California bee diets.

Just go to http://www.bee-l.org and type "Tang" into the archive advanced 
search pane for some fascinating reading.  Make sure the "substring" box is 
NOT checked.
