  1. AAccording to the audubon society north american guide to insects and spiders Cotinus nitida range form new york to florida through the gulf states north to missouri.In some years I've seen these in numbers. Haven't seen any this year yet.
  2. Hello my friend I am a fellow beetle enthusiast. I was in a heavy forested area on a warm night with moon blocked by canopy. I had a small uv light with florecent headlamp on a bright white t shirt on a hollow stump and I there were quite a few common junebugs click beetles a few small carabids moths and then a 1inch long dark brown stag beetle I believe its a female not sure of excact sp I also put out a mixture of rotten banana and diluted maple syrup and maybe some beer. stag beetles and other beetles will be attracted to the sweet fermenting smell. Keep a flashlight handy to shine adjacent to uv light for insects will be in the shadows. Im currnetly looking for various scarabs and larger carabids. From my experience its good to set up between forest and open field/meadow/yard/garden because you ll find a larger deversity of species. Happy hunting Buggnout sincerely noel aka buggnout

  5. Will be putting up some photos soon have to shrink them down to size.RIght now I am maintaining 2 terrariums with some native insects. I am trying to perfect favorable conditions for a few carabids including cheanius sp. I also have a small colony of second generation field crickets. I've had various insects do welll and others not so well. Im doing some live plants its all been trail and errror and research. I have very limited space in a window sill with partial sun. Plants consist of some herbs a couple of potted flowering plants some wild grape even a tiny everygreen with some moss.I use rich soil with rotten wood and leaf litter to add depth and nutrients. Any suggestions or insight would be welcome. Best wishes Buggnout
  6. I know exactly how you feel june is when many beetles start appearing where im at paeking july/august.I've purchased my first net and its great. Did a bit of blacklighting in this new spot i've found and the first beetle that came to the light was a nicrophorus sp. It was about 20mm also a couple of very small cararbids.My goal has been to capture live calosoma scrutator/calosoma sycophanta wood love to acquire for possible captive breeding very beautiful beeltes. Do you have any expierience with these beetles? Any isights on best time and place to find these guys would be appriecated.I've looked high and low in their habitats and always come up empty. Best wishes Buggnout
  7. Hello to everyone my name is Noel Morales and my aka is Buggnout. I just found this forum through bugs in cyberspace.Im elated that there is this beetle forum I have a deep love for insects especaily beetles. I spend lots of my free time searching learning and observing insects and their natural envirements. I prefer live specimens. Dead specimens are kool but usaully loose luster after a while. I hope to meet and network with fellow invert lovers so we can learn from each others expieriences.Look forward to meeting you. best wishes Buggnout
