  I'm jealous she found this before me (with me being in much closer proximity to the Carolinas ;P)!! Posted 4 years ago

      Thanks for the common name, Ferdy! I totally forgot to look ;P. Oh, and what does it mean that you are "open to bribes"? What would we bribe you for?
      
      As a side note -- this beetle was sooo cute! One of the oriental beetles landed on its foot and got stuck. So, the Carolina pine sawyer started squeaking and squealing while trying to free itself. It sounded so pathetic, but adorable. I had to intervene to free it, after which it scurried off out of reach of the oriental beetles, who have no concept of personal space. Anyway, this story was much better in my head.

        Hah, you're so innocent. Consider that a compliment.
        
        I mean I have full database access so can change anything. So if Lisa posted this species later, I can just manipulate data so that it looks like she was first.
        
        ...which is something I of course would not do. Unless the bribe is really good. Posted 4 years ago
