Glad I started this topic. Curious now what the worlds holy grail species could be. Since each collection is personal. I'm ready and willing to hunt legal species anywhere feel free to send me to the remote jungles or deserts! Glad we've this site.

Having a slow season in AZ decided to take a few leps. Spent time in Rio Rico, Willcox, Payson. Mainly an Asilid and Cicindela collector but going home empty handed was out of the question. What are your favorite species? What is the rarest one? Atleast the butterfly collecting makes my wife happy she thinks the fly thing is strange but they leps are pretty. I do like Parnassius but haven't expanded past them.

Camp in the type habitat. Walk a lot with your headlamp on, new batteries help. Make sure you don't get too tired and lost. Boy did I almost have along night while hunting cylindriformis recently. Fortunately found camp around 3 am. Took 20# very exciting.

I'm not the only one good to hear. D gloriosa are nice little puffballs. Have d sackenii in my neighborhood. Have taken approx 100# mutillid specimens this year. Anybody have special ways of dispatching mutillids? Get frustrated filling my jars full of sand.
