I've seen a Microstylum magnum specimen in person. Holy mackerel. There's an article on it in the diptera section of this forum.

All my Asilids have been taken with my trusty 4'-15" net. Including Mallophora fulva, Laphria trux, Eccritosia zamon. Everytime I use a long clunker have limited results. Working on a few specialized tools currently. Main thing with 44 caliber flies is stalk or run fast. When you flush them give the fly time to land standing still and watch. Pocket net would work well but messing around in other countries seems sketchy. I'm going to make phone calls and do this a legal way.

A few flies! That's laughable! Only the largest Asilids in the world. Bet your butterflies are pretty definitely a serious fly collector but do enjoy hunting Cicindela. Going to a more friendly country is on the menu but getting my prize specimens in the wild is a long-term goal. Hopefully not too long.

The thread was about areas to collect. Little was concluded. What is a ton of cash? How does $ help? All I want is a few flies but willing to pick up a bunch of gems there, if need be to make the trip worthwhile. Anyone have a contact or two? Please pm me. Thanks

Want to visit Madagascar someday sooner then later. Want to fine tooth details with exporting my specimens and hunting in this country legally. To fly all that way and have my specimens confiscated would break my heart. Thanks fellow insect fans.

Since my property didn't produce Mydas xanthopterus planning on moving. Currently live in southern California. Want to move somewhere in the USA with plenty of quality insects. My main focuses are Asilids, Mydas, and Cicindela. Have the option to travel plenty. Any ideas?

Holy mackerel. Why all the netting? Reminds me of bug collecting in northern California.
