Peter Clausen Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I went to this over the weekend. A great event: http://bugguide.net/node/view/301497 Also, very excited about going to the American Tarantula Society Conference (and many days of collecting) in Arizona next week!!! Anybody else decide to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Looks like fun! I'll make my way there eventually. Can't afford it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosenKrieger Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I was planning on going to the ATS conference with a southern california group, but I had to bail due to lack of funds and being unable to get the time off work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBJ Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Looks to be an exiting event! Is it an event that anybody could attend (should one wish to cross the ocean...) or is it requiring a full, paying membership of ATS? Are you ('locals') collecting as well as photografing the findings...? Are many from 'Allpet Roaches Forum' participating?? BR/ Ole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a few collecting field trips and of course you can go out hunting on your own as well. Peter and I are going as well. Hopefully a few more forum members as well.

I want to go, but it does not look possible for me this year. Dissappointing as I really enjoy field collecting anything, or even just getting the photos really....

Peter Clausen Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 OBJ, I think it is $45 at the door to get in or $40 for pre-registrants. Orin is giving two lectures, one on roaches and one on millipedes so he gets in free! I'm a silver sponsor so they gave me a free pass. I am SOOO excited I can hardly sleep. I dreamed about collecting in AZ last night. In my dream I found a dead fig beetle, Cotinus mutabilis. Wish me better luck tonight! Here is a calendar of events for the conference...check out what you're missing! http://atshq.org/conference.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBJ Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 In my dream I found a dead fig beetle, Cotinus mutabilis. Wish me better luck tonight! Hopefully, you are not supersticious... Please enlighten me - is Cotinus mutabilis extinct or exceptionally seldom or was it because it was dead...?? Here is a calendar of events for the conference...check out what you're missing! Puh - you hit the 'envy'-button there...!!! It is a super agenda! Best wishes to all of you going!! BR/ Ole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've got me reeling in thoughts of the coleopterans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
