      Quite an injustice when you consider I barely knew they existed and didn't even try hehe.
      But seriously, are they so rare to find when actively looking? Why would that be?       Posted 4 years ago

        You are very lucky! I saw one once, but a friend had found it. I am not sure why I can't find them, maybe they are uncommon in my area. Arp suggested that I look on sycamore leaves, but I can't reach any as our sycamores are fairly huge. Gary suggested goldenrod in late summer. So, I'll be checking that in the coming weeks.
