I've been a registered user here for several months already, but for some strange reason I never got the confirmation email and couldn't post.

Today even though I didn't get the confirmation email my account is now validated for some reason!

I am an artificial life enthusiast (think Karl Sims) and live in the San Gabriel Valley, which is one of the worst places to be an insect enthusiast in; the only beetles we even have are various junebugs and Cotinis mutabilis, and the place is devoid of life in general, save the cosmopolitan ants, bees, flies, lacewings, micromoths, etc. I currently have a small amount of superworm beetles, which I will post later about...

Welcome,

I love artificial life as well, it helps us understand life ( as we perceive it) objectively.

Karl Sims pushes the boundaries, he does some awesome work, I have his website bookmarked.

I a like Breve, Critterding and 3dvce simulators.

You will find lots of info here and you should be able to get some cool beetles.

 
Hi, and welcome! If you live by a desert you should be able to find some darkling beetles around you. Look forward to reading your posts!

There are over 1200 "pending" members in the application queue, but the majority of them are spambots. There was a breach in the spam member filters a couple months ago and a flood of new member accounts. I just sort of scratched the whole lot of them during that time period because I don't have time to manually check each account to verify whether they are a spammer or not.

Welcome and sorry for the delay. I do occasionally go through a couple pages of members applications from that time period and maybe I approved yours recently. In any case, new member accounts are being checked weekly again.
