Amazed
Tom,
I'm always amazed when I find a species with so few on BG, that you also have one posted. We are at opposite corners of the country. You must live in a similarly wooded area.

Robert,
There are plenty of woods around the house, and a nice wetland out back. It's interesting to see how all these different insects are dispersed through the country.

1,500 Miles
There is bound to be some of these insects in the 1,500 miles between Mobile and Groton. Too bad there aren't more dedicated bug hunters in all the states :(

This is my envions (click on the yard thumbs). I've recently been trying to inventory my vegetation to better ID my bugz.

More didicated bug hunters
If every state was represented with crazy bug hunters like us, bugguide would need to increase it's capacity:-)

That's a nice yard for all sorts of nature that you have. Keep up with all the great bugs you're posting.
