I worried about Riccardo Papa, a Heliconius researcher at the University of Puerto Rico, so I wrote to him. His reply is below:

Hi Jim,

Thank you for you very appreciated email. We are all safe but Puerto Rico is 
pretty much destroyed. Likewise the university. My lab is gone and I have 
lost the majority of my samples. No water, no electricity, no gasoline and 
long lines to go to the grocery. It looks like a post war scenario. Now we 
are dealing with the post hurricane problems. Well, I guess this is a new 
experience.

Thank you again.

Riccardo
