yes and no
(from account info) The specimens collected in pitfall traps at Feliciana Preserve, Louisiana are residue (bycatch) specimens from a study I’m doing on the effect of dead wood abundance on beetles. I’m taking quick pics of the interesting stuff that I won’t have time to key out. Many thanks for ID help. (from account info)
