It took me many years to find my first one, but since then I tend to find them at least once per year.Also let your friends, neighbors, and anyone else know you are looking for them.

I know another thing to look for this coming year as <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/52766-Megaphasma-denticrus" target="_blank">it has been spotted near me</a>.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
