Genus Heliocopris, but don't know the species. Doing a web search revealed a list of the species, but not all them are photographed. Jeff Prill

I place a piece of paper towel in the bottom, and over that a thick wad of cotton. The paper towel acts as a blotter when I add the ethyl acetate in the field. I never get condensation, and my jars are perfect killing machines. Jeff Prill

Put a light in the woods in June and maybe some will come to it. You have to place it where there is plenty of dead wood. I usually do it on a new moon or during a crescent and a little beyond that. Jeff Prill

The first one: Prioninae: Derobrachus sulcicornis LeConte. It kind of resembles my specimen. You need to zoom in on the other specimens. I believe that they are Lamiinae; Acanthocinini, but I can't see everything that I need to see. Go to Cerambycids.com, and check the Cerambycidae of the New World website. Jeff Prill

I never allow my cat out of the house unless it's on a leash and halter. Too many possibilities of them being hit by cars, or being killed by cat haters in my area. She loves to get out, but she only goes out when I'm with her. She eats grass, rolls in the dust sometimes, and definitely enjoys her time out. I don't allow her out by herself, since she's 21 years old and is blind in her right eye. I don't want harm to come to her. She's a very good friend. Jeff Prill

I would just visit the fresh thing in the cow or horse pasture, and would find a large number of scarabs. Another way is to go to a horse park in a State Park or State Forest and use a trowel to look for them, even if you have to dig to get them. Plus, you might find rove beetles and Carabids, and other predatory beetles moving about looking for fly larvae. Jeff Prill

Like I wrote, earlier, you show the cat a lot of love, and eventually they do begin to settle down. Also, spading and neutering them helps, too. My cat's a sweety. Jeff Prill

Strange, I thought these would be emerging later, but I saw two japanese beetles, today flying. The temperature was in the sixties in Peoria, Illinois, today. I didn't expect them to be out until June. Jeff Prill
