Thread For Your Beetle Stories

Eudicella
As winter approaches nearer, many adult beetles are either hibernating or dead, and larvae are still very small.

Why not share some memorable beetle hunt stories and interesting experiences?

 
I have found that the best time to hunt down here in Central FL is Jan-Feb. Its cold but nice with no mosquitoes and I can hunt for much longer periods. Also larvae are a bit larger. I hope to find lots of nice stuff in the next few months and post my stories on here. Me and fellow beetle forum member LarvaHunter caught some amazing specimens from Jan of this year until now and we hope to find some more interesting stuff. We caught some nice species including Derobrachus thomasi, Archodontes melanopus, Prionus pocularis, first ever Dynastes tityus larva, two female Strategus splendens, Euphoria limbalis, some very nice jewel beetles, the rare Florida sand roach Arenivaga floridensis, tons of Phileurus truncatus larvae and other nice specimens I'm forgetting at the moment lol. Good luck to everyone collecting and stay safe out there!
