Is there any exotic invertebrates to collect around china ?

[stagtacus]

Hello all i maybe be going to china around 2013 for some collecting but i have never done this before, here is the list of province i'm planning to visit. ( Yunnan, Tibet, Hubei ) i hope to find some cool beetles, ant, centipedes, spiders, mantis and who knows what bugs but i am expecting to see Harpegnathos venator, i'm hoping there is a subspecies of Harpegnathos saltator in china some where. ​​ All suggestions welcome Thank you ALL

it's ok if you like tiger beetle, there is a US species Amblycheila cylindriformis very cool looking i personally think is one of the coolest tiger of them all.

a friend of mine used to have them. i think i saw some other smaller tiger beetle species in nj one time. hey do you know how to breed them.

i believe they need large space... for green ones and smeller ones they like clay and sandy substrate...
