where do you plan to go for your 2012 hunting trip? if you like to share your 'secret' plan in advance. i will go to Tibet again,which will take about 1.5-2 months. and,probablly in passing to Nepal(if unavailable for hunting) so just take it as a trip. if the places you'll vist is coinside with any other people,maybe you could have a meet in a same place.  |

I could go out right now to various lights and find winter moths. Because the weather is warmer than usual. Today, we're suppose to have a 55 degree day.

Hope Corsica in May and Brittany in July/August.
Maybe few days in French Alpes too.
I am stuck in France this summer for a happy event : a future lepidopterist will born.

I'm gonna stay relatively nearby, probably just the Texas and Oklahoma area, although I may take a week long trip to Pennsylvania at some point.  |

Northern Thailand consists of the provinces north of a line from from Tak, Sukothai to Phitsanulok northwards to Maehongson, Lampang, Lamphun, Chiang Mai (where I live), Chiang Rai, Phayao and Nan. If you imagine Thailand as an elephant's head, Bangkok is its mouth, peninsular Thailand its trunk, Northern Thailand its forehead and the Northeast is its ear. Surin is at the lower edge of its ear, and is about 1000 km from here. If you go to the border area itself please be very careful as all the forest is a giant minefield, very dangerous indeed. It's a legacy of the Khmer conflict in the late '70s and '80s, but has been exacerbated by recent border conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia over the demarcation of the border and ownership of several ancient temples in the border area. If you are coming up to true northern Thailand and visit Chiang Mai you'll be most welcome to say hello. Adam. |

Peter < few is known about Delias repartition in Cambodia. Please have a look at them, and if you can collect some or take pictures, I would be very much interested.
And as Adam says, mind the mines !!!

Big plans for this year and all contingent on affordable gas prices this summer. My itinerary looks like :
TN-- (my home)
AL-- northern part mid-June
FL--panhandle mid-May
CA--northern part early May
AR, TX, NM, enroute to my pilgrimage to AZ in mid-July
BTW, anybody planning an excursion to French Guiana next year and share expenses?
Always looking to connect with fellow collecting addicts!!

Probably have to stay pretty close to home like last summer. It's been a very mild winter and we've at least been getting some rain over the past couple of months here in Texas. I'm hoping for a good season. I've heard forecasts of $5.00/gallon gas here in the U.S. this summer. It's at about $3.40+ for regular unleaded gasoline here in the Houston area already. I know that doesn't sound like a lot compared to Europe & other parts of the world, but my 1997 van only gets about 16 MPG so that's about $25.00 per night on my gas station run of about110 miles. If the night isn't productive, that's a lot to spend when you're unemployed! Hope everyone has a great season out there in the insectnet world.

Depends how gas prices are. NC mtns, PA, and WV hopefully.
As of right now, I have a new BL bucket trap and a totally unsampled SC night fauna. My test runs have already got me Phigalia denticulata/strigataria, 3 Metaxaglaea spp., Feltia subterranea, Orthosia hibisci, Morrisonia mucens, Condica sutor, Phyllodesma occidentis, 2 Spodoptera spp., 2 Lithophane spp. and some various other micros and smalls.
Can't wait what actual spring and summer bring if winter is this good. It helps that this winter has been very warm.

Nothing too adventurous for me - although I'm going to make an effort to get out collecting more than I did in 2011.
So, a few trips to France (hopefully to collect with Olivier) and in the UK, I'm going to try several chalk grassland sites I've not visited in years.

Unfortunately, I live in Ontario, Canada....not much too collect here. But, if I had the free time, and the $, then I would go to the Islands surrounding New Guinea, Woodlark, Karkar, Sudest, Rossel, Madang, Misima, Goodenough....tons of never seen material!
