Yes Steve , I am an amateur entomologist , we are trying to get a current and up to date survey of certain species distributions . I figured that everyone here could provide Valuable and Unique " Boots on the Ground " means for intel , siteings, and possibly specimens . The Pleocoma or " Rain Beetles" have very limited and widely spread out groups, and we ( the scientific community U C Riverside, L.A. Natural History Museum, etc,) are looking for Help from the Public on getting a more concise picture of their populations and species number ( 33 or so now). The Large long horns have only a couple species and there should or could be more as well. Almost All of our data base originates from the Public and we then verify . gst
