Nice
Your really whittling away these Hister beetles. Keep up the good work.

Thanks
Thanks Brad. It's nice to see all the beetles hitting the airwaves in recent days, including your carabids (and other families). I'm sure my fellow Wisconsinite Peter Messer is happy to see those.

I have to keep hammering away at imaging whilst I still have access to the magic machine. Once that's out of my grasp, I will start fleshing out the info sections.

You keep up the good work also, and good luck with your studies.
