Hisserdude Posted August 8, 2021 Report Posted August 8, 2021 Deilelater physoderus in Texas, Vesperelater arizonicus in AZ and NM. The first is in culture, the second is not. Quote

Their seasonal peak is August, so you may find some there yet! Be sure to catch lots of them if you do, would love to help establish them in culture, as I have had great success with Pyrophorini.
