Beetle Trip

[tarm]

I'm going on a second trip from PA down to NC (first was to DC area) for Dynastes Tityus. I was able to find 4 Tityus in parking lots but was unsuccessful in finding any with a 175w MV in what seemed to be pretty optimal locations. Does anyone have any pointers or locations on where to collect in NC, or in VA? Thanks!

I live in VA and I get tons of Dynastes Tityus on a night. I only get tons on nights where the conditions are right.

What kind of conditions? It rained when I got there and I lighted that night and the next 2 nights. Once in near Scotts Run, and near Prince Williams Park Back Country. high 70s low 80s and high humidity.

I get nice results in Prince WIlliam Park. When there is no moon and over 87 degrees fahrenheit.
