Peter Clausen 37 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Saw a bunch of those and will be posting some videos of them, no doubt. Eusattus reticulatus were out in force at one spot! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mantis Menagerie 14 Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I wanted to go out for the TITAG IECC conference, but it did not work out this year. I really want to find D. granti. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hisserdude 838 Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 I'd love to go for the Tenebs, and there are some neat rare roaches there too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really want to find D. granti. Steven Barney was out for the conference and I by chance met up with him at this very rest stop! I haven't made a trip up North in many years for D. granti. They are pretty easily sourced but certainly there is nothing compared to encountering one in the wild! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Love that you love tenebs as much as I do! I would personally take them over any Chrysina or Dynastes any day! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Love documenting their life cycles and breeding obscure species! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Auz 11 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I just watched this! Super cool stuff. I'd love to do that sometime, but only in a big group of people so I didn't look crazy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just uploaded the 8th video from the trip and will be making it visible in the next 24 hours. Here is the latest trip vid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm super glad we've got the Invertebrate Club of Southern California now so I don't have to be as worried about where I go. But if your ever in SoCal, let me know; we'll take you out collecting . Awesome stuff @Peter Clausen! I always marvel at how you take the time to look at these tiny little species others might pass by without a second glance.
