Lookin like im going down to New Orleans to ba...er..see the wife. Thinkin on booking a one way to Orlando ...get me smack dab in scrub land...do some huntin and then drive over to Orleans for the weekend ...then fly back from there.

Trying to get a hold of a couple people ...JeffH being one ...anyway ...looking for a guide AND any suggestions for the hunt ...areas, creature requests etc.
One thing... there is supposed to be an oak laden area in Louisiana(?) that Cyclocosmia inhabit ???...would LOVE to know where this may be! SCABIES bloodhound gang ... help me out if anyone can. Wink

My route is obvious when heading from Fl to LA ...pretty much north thru Fl and over. But, that should get me within or close to some interesting areas and Im thinking ill have at least a couple days+ a night or so ...not alot of time but Ill not sleep and max out my hunting time.

Sound like an adventure? God knows I need an adventure ...and me wife! Laughing

Hello Steven,
I will Call Brent KArner from the NAtural History Museum Bug Zoo, one of his friends is the director of the Insect Zoo in Lousiana, I think is the brand spanking New Audobon Insectarium. I think his name is Zack

Audubon Nature Institute P.O. Box 4327 New Orleans, LA 70178 (504) 861-2537 air@auduboninstitute.org

If I get Brent to contact Zack he might be able to tell you where to go to get what you need.

If you get a hold of him just tell him you are Francisco's friend, Brent's friend with the Rhino roaches in Los ANgeles.

He might remember me as we spend some time at the last years Insect show and a couple of BBQs at a friends house.

If you go to this link Zack is the guy in the Second picture showing a dragon fly to some kids.

http://www.auduboninstitute.org/insectarium.html

will keep you inform.

francisco

If you happen to be in the right area/happen to see any, it would be pretty sweet if you were able to find me a Centruroides gracilis, maybe a pair? Very Happy

Thanks, Nick

i asked a friend to talk to rick west to get a general idea.... he hasn't heard back as of 2;30.... generally speaking irrigation channels next to farms are the ideal spots....they seem to like the clay and sand combo for burrows...

Not sure whats up, but Im starting to worry that Jeff may have had something come up or hes flaking on me. Hopefully hell get back to me via PMs or call. I dont have his #, so once I leave in the morn tomorrow Ill be on my own down there.
If thats the case then Im probably going to drive north a bit from Orlando, do a little nighttime looksie do a wayside rest for a few and then go balls out Wednesday.

Bark scorps ...I figure they are found under crap, under bark and whatnot ...but...what do I know. .. Any advise regarding the bark scorps would be cool. Wink

Not that it will tell you how to find them ('cause it has nothing to do with that), but here is some reading on this particular species.
