I'm just starting a study on the relationship between this insect and the Ganoderma it lives on. They like the fungus so much that they're practically the only insect that lives on it, and I'm trying to figure out why.

Do you see these a lot? If so, would you be willing to ship specimens to me? I need to gather a large number of the insects for my study in a short time, and since I'm the only person working on this at my university, I don't have a lot of time to play with... so I'm going bug-begging!

I can have a look. They are not as common down here in Vero Beach as up north. I will ship specimens if I find any. I suppose just packing them with some fungus is sufficient?

Yes, that'd be fine. If you find them on a pad and can ship the whole pad, I'll probably get some larvae, too. The more the merrier. Part of my experiment is creating an artifically high population density in the lab. I'm studying whether the fungus is exploiting their sexual selection mechanism in order to get them to act as a spore vector.
