In the end, we only have a two party mafia to choose from. A lying witch and a loudmouth con man. As I was in the military, I believe people have the right to pick their poison. I am leaning towards the libertarian side more now. The more Rump make idiotic comments, and comes up with absurd theories, the less I think of him. But like I said, to each their own.

It was not that great for Saturnids. Next year might be better hopefully. I went to a place were A. cecrops pamina was common, but they were beat up bad. This was on the 28th of July.

I for got to mention all the conspiracy theories he or his subordinates come up with are off the wall, but it seems his supporters eat it all up. I can't stand conspiracy theories...

I'm staying away from both those clowns. Trump is worse in my opinion. The guy doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut when it needs to be. For a moment there, I was leaning towards him until he decided to start insulting vets parents, and making dumb remarks. He will bring himself down and his train will derail by the end of this. I will rather cast my lot with Gary Johnson.

Good catch, Bill. I collected one in AZ this season, and he was messed up, but a keeper none the less. I honestly don't care much for perfect specimens when they are my first and only capture.

Nice haul, Tom. At least you went out and got some nice bugs. I went to Arizona, and it was a bust, but not a complete bust. Didn't get too many saturniids, but the sphingids were good. Beetles were good as well. Good thing, there is always a next year.

Evra, I didn't collect much of what I was looking for, but had fun being out there anyway. My friend in Phoenix went down there the weekend before I got there on the 28th of July, and he said it was so dry, that the fruit trees there were dying. We hit Harshaw, and it was not as good as he has had. We did manage to collect some nice sphingids, and some sats, but they weren't as common this season, probably because of the later rains. That is awesome that you caught a cincta. Good thing, there is always next season.

Bugboys, this year was rather funky with the rain patterns. My friend and I went to some of the best spots for saturniids, and we got some, but not in the typical amazing collecting that is normally known for. I'm not complaining, but since they got some huge storms prior to the actual monsoon time, that jacked up a lot of the hatches. Hopefully, next year will be better. I am wondering if the butterfly season in september/october will be any better?

If he is, then I am part of the Sinaloa Cartel! lol Damn scammers are in a gang of thieves! He ain't part of some dangerous mafia, unless 419 scams are part of the mafia racket. This guy is a scamming clown! No more, no less...

Oh, and the morning as we packed up from Madera Canyon, we got a huge thunderstorm hit us that morning. That same system hit Phoenix that evening and the roads flooded there.

My experience was somewhat similar. I met up with a bugging friend in Phoenix. I was there the 28th of July to the 2nd of August. Night one was spent at Harshaw. Caught some Eacles oslari, Citheronia splendens sinaloensis, Sphingicampa hubbardi, and a very work Hyalophora gloveri. The rains somewhat started again by then, and the numbers of saturniids weren't as impressive as my friend said they normally were. We spent the next night at Copper Canyon in the Huachuca Mts, and that was great for beetles and smaller moths. Saturnids weren't coming much except for 2 Citheronia splendens sinaloensis, 1 Eacles oslari, and some sphingicampas. Third night we decided to go herping, and found this huge, yet oddly enough un-aggressive kingsnake. I carried her around for three hours as we looked for some frogs my friend wanted to raise. Let her go when we were done for the night. Last night in AZ, we hit Madera Canyon, and it was really cool and windy. Didn't get much, except for a Dyschema howardii and some sphingids. Chrysinas were out, but not in huge numbers as we set up at the top of Madera canyon. Maybe next year might be better? Lol

Agreed. I have noticed this too. That is why I laugh at the people who back certain political candidates because they promise jobs. There are jobs, but people think they are too good for them. Retail is easy as hell, until you have to deal with ###ty people. Even then, the good thing is that at least you can go up the ladder, and get a pay increase each year, which helps. But people are lazier now, and want everything to be easy. Even in working retail, I make ends meet, and that is all I need. I get to go to school, and work on the weekends, and still make enough to pay rent and bills.

I have gotten tips many times, mostly chump change, but it is appreciated none the less because I can buy me a pop or some coffee. I work at a Petco, and don't expect to get tipped much, but when I get a buck or two for helping someone out, it is appreciated very much.

These clowns think they are slick. Man, they will promise you things that don't even occur in their country, just to make a quick buck. Pathetic they are!
