[QUOTE="Peter Clausen, post: 296567, member: 421"] Man, that's a gorgeous bunch of bugs! I've never used a beating sheet though I've held my heavy duty sweep net beneath beaten foliage before. Of course there are visibility issues to the net method. Your results seem pretty great! The spider shots are my favorites, but the little bush cricket is adorable! I saw my first bush cricket when a friend in Arizona sent me one, recently. Yours is different though. I collect in my yard almost every day (okay, multiple times per day EVERY day to be quite honest). When I lived 15 minutes away from here the bugs were totally different. The bugs I see here change every few weeks as successions of species change with and within the season. Your bugs are great to see because they are so different than what I see here. I NEVER get tired of seeing insect photos. Since it is included in the set of images, I'll be the first to bite. What is that trail of brown droplets? (Do I win a prize for asking?) ;) [/QUOTE]
