finally straightened out and that Bill and my conversation on FB got your attention. I went back today to the place where I saw them so early this year, I wanted to get a nice series - but the weather had changed and there were none. All I got was a work-out.

Thank you for your help, Richard

The Guide actually has a number of world-class buprestid experts registered: Josh Basham, Rick Wescott, Will Chatfield-Taylor, Ted McRae, John Watts, among others. Might have to contact a few of them directly and call their attention to this page and others in need of their attention...

...who specializes in what around here. Good information to have -- thanks for the heads up, Joshua!

Actually it's fairly easy to find who specializes in what. A lot of the experts mention in their Guide profile what their favorite groups are. If you use the Guide Search window, when the results come up, scroll down past all of the matching images, pages, and comments, and just above the bottom you will usually find a heading "matching users".

...for them that way. Works great! Thanks.

to several of the people mentioned above, and Denis Haines, who has been most helpful with several other Bups. This particular one has not generated any results

Well, finally someone sent this image to me! Really, I don't have time to scour for them..and my forgetfulness does not help either. So, when you post a bup, maybe let me know....?

Okay, that said..let me put the image where it belongs (no, I am not going to frass it!).

next time I'll send you a link directly (I was sure I did (-:)
I'm forgetful, too
