Hyalphora euraylus, I would think is a slightly rare silkmoth to find on the west coast. The more common silkmoth would be the Polyphemus moth. But that does look like Hyalphora euraylus. If you find a female keep it and see if it lays eggs and if it does PM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice! I, too, live here! :D

I see the wooly bear caterpillers a lot in the fall. I tried keeping one... Sad story. It lived happily, and then tried to spin a cocoon or web of some sort around the plants it was on. It encaged itself and tried to get out, but couldn't. All of it's hair fell off and got stuck to the webbing and it started to die. I put it outside. :(

And we see praying mantids here, too, but less so than in previous years. :(

 
A little bird told me you might have collected some Omus and now I see the photos!

I have a contact doing DNA barcoding on members of that genus (as well as some other insects). I'd love to get a few specimens if yours to compare relatedness with ones I'm getting from 2 locations in WA State, plus another here in Oregon. And another K Falls trip might be in the works for July!

 
Ya no problem Ill track down a few more as I haven't seen mine since I added them to my natural tank lol and July would be great for k falls as long as its not on the 21st :)

 
Great! I'm thinking the week prior actually. I have a small mission to collect a particular insect on the West side of Crater Lake, on the way down. Will be great to get the guys together again, and will be in touch.

Hey, was that reddish Antrodiaetus(?) just post-molt or what? Crazy color!

Your last photo looks like a dance fly.

 
Nice! What is it your seeking near crater lake?

And ya that antrodiaetus was oddly colored unsure why I still have it lol

And ya I look forward to another good bug trip :) how was AZ?
