[QUOTE="pannaking22, post: 297630, member: 8172"] One project at a time now since I'm currently working on a manual of grasshoppers of Illinois and guide to common ticks of Kenya ;) Fortunately there's already a cerambycid guide for Illinois, but for buprestids I've just been using the Buprestids of Eastern North America. Not a perfect resource and it's kind of dated now, but still very very nice to have as a starting point and I'm friends with a couple very knowledgeable buprestophiles, so that helps too! I've had a lot of nice surprises using the beating sheet too, so I'm sure you'll have lots of fun once things warm up again! Even in the fall you can get some weird stuff if you're knocking on the right tree. There's even a stark difference between live and dead trees for what you get. The tree could still be alive, but if it has a dead limb within reach you can find some oddities pretty easily. [/QUOTE]
