Clark,
I did get your email, and I did answer it. The answer is yes, at the moment day time and week days would work best for me. Let me know when is best for you.

There is an event in Louisiana called "Bugstock". Check it out at beetle-experience.com. Click on Bugstock for info on the next event.

It sounds like we are luckier here in the U.K. I have several friends who I collect with and many more who I see at the bug shows and more informal get-togethers. We have four bug fairs per year but three are in the same place in the middle of England, too far for people from the North or South to get to, and the fourth is the London one. Dave

If some Brit friends want to discover Fontainebleau forest during a week-end in Paris, I can bring them to the good spots.

I run into other collectors fairly often while traveling in the US. I think there's been four times in the past couple years. Tiger beetle collectors often revisit the "classic" sites and it's not unusual to see others. The Steinhatchee salt flat gets a fair amount of traffic on summer nights.

I believe the reputation of this web site is sufficient to where a show or fair could simply be named InsectNet Show or InsectNet Fair. To include Bug in the name would be redundant, IMO

InsectNet Bug Show InsectNet Bug Fair InsectNet Insect Show InsectNet Trade Fair Which is best? Any other ideas? How about just Insect-Net? The name itself is already self-explanatory. Insects, insects collectors, trading, etc.

Politula,
Where are these "classic sites" for tiger beetles? Where is the Steinhatchee Salt Flat?

58 Chevy:
Some classic tiger beetle sites would be Dirty Socks Rec Area on Owen Lake near Olancha, California, S of Shoshone on hwy 127 in California, on the salt flats 5 miles E of Willcox, Arizona, the hwy 35 crossing on the OK/TX border etc. Sites where collectors go again and again. The Steinhatchee site is at the end of hwy 361 in Dixie Co, FLA. Of course these are all seasonal.

What's the best time to visit Steinhatchee? It's so close to where I am that I often think of making another quick excursion out there, but the first couple times I went it was completely fruitless so it fell on the priority list. I am sure I don't have the timing down right.

Wow really enjoyed this thread. I live near Aguanga CA if anyone wants to collect sometime. Although the locals are wild cowboys. Have never seen anyone in the field collecting. Had a great experience with the last collector who visited my area. Trying to expand my search area, the top of the hill where I live has been dry we need rain. Have been looking in the valleys and asking around some of the looks are very funny. Mainly collect flies and hymenoptera but also have a fancy for tiger's and roaches. Always carry supplies for an occasional lep. I mainly work evenings which works out great for a Fly guy. I'm hooked on Asilids!! Love hearing bug stories. Anyway this is a neat idea.

I'm not an insect collector myself, although I would love to be. Money is tight unfortunately. But if there is anybody NOR in Perth, Western Australia I'd love to tag along one day and learn a bit

If there is anyone in Wisconsin (especially southwestern WI) who wants to go collecting, I would enjoy meeting another collecter. So far, the only place I have ever met one was at a spot that claimes to have 8 different tiger beetles in Spring Green.
