be careful
be careful collecting around park bathrooms at night. The lights are great but the rangers sure don't like it :-) At least that is what they have stressed strongly to me.
This is one of the Dicosmoecus.

Thanks for the ID!
Thanks for the ID. I think as long as you don't kill anything or take it out of the park the rangers don't mind. I actually worked in this park. This particular bathroom was for resident employees living on site, of which I was one. I found some great bugs in that bathroom! I always made a point of taking my camera every time I went.
