NM Trip

I had the chance to visit New mexico in early july and found a beetles including two targets. My main focus of this trip was to find the fuscocyanea form of Euphoria fulgida which took more time then I expected although I finally found them on the last day of searching. I ended up finding three along with a hundred or so Euphoria Kerni and about a dozen Trichiotinus texanus. I have since put the fulgida in a breeding setup and they've given me around 40 larvae. (if anyone has tips for these please let me know)

My other target was Amblycheila which I found a male on the way to our next spot. Have since found a female so I will be trying to get some eggs out of them soon.

The fuscocyanea form of Fulgida dont always appear purple and depends on the lighting and angle. Also grub pics since the female has finally passed.
