Since posting, I haven't found a single rhino beetle or anything "cool" in the pool overflow.

Well my son and I went collecting at muni park on sat and picked up several different insects, buy still lacking in the big beetle and moth area.
Also if anybody comes across any caterpillars I would like those too. Had one someone was gonna grab me that was green with yellow horns, but they waited till the next morning to collect it and it was gone. Think it would be cool for my son to be able to watch them hatch.
Thanks any let me know, not picky just looking for diversity.

Still looking for beetles. I have found several different moths over the last week, they have been all over the flight deck at work. But I could really use some help with the beetles (all kinds). Let me know if you can help or if you find anything.

thats awesome, are you going to frame them?

[redpheonix]

Yeah, haven't been able to find any hindged shadow boxes the size I want so guess I'm gonna have to break out the table saw and router and build a couple big ones (one for each class of insect)

just been having alot of trouble finding big beetles and catching certain dragonflies with patterned wings (fast)

[29nanomob]

draggon flys use to land on our hand out at austal on the dock all colors .blue yellow orange red green.. let me know if you need help with that case.

[redpheonix]

I will accept any help with bugs sobif you can grab a couple dragonflies I would appreiate it. Also if anybody comes across any monarch butterflies I would really appreciate atleast one of those. They are in migratory transition to south america and will be here another week or so and then gone till next year.
