So many places, so much nature! <br />That encounter with the 3 "bullies" was crazy! And the Montezuma quail posing so readily? Wow! <br />Sounds like you had great companions. If you ever want another, let me know! <br />Carol <br />Evolving66https://www.blogger.com/profile/10289498878611242926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446924751738546355.post-48904341980058349182016-08-31T18:55:53.927-07:002016-08-31T18:55:53.927-07:00This is fantastic; what a neat trip.

By the way, Copper Canyon was dissapointing probably because Norm Woodley and I had already collected everything before you got there!<br />Steven Lingafelter<br /><br />Enjoyed the line about Javier crossing the border and Alice's rainbow shot. And the bugs! Three brave ladies doing wonderful things.<br />Randy Hardy<br /><br />What a great story! Thanks for posting it. I tried to reply there, but could not figure out how to.<br />Great camaradarie you folks shared. However, all the rain would have put me off something terrible (Yes, I know; without it there would not have been the plethora of insects!). And I shuddered at the mention of chiggers. I did not get even one bite--well, maybe one--during our time in SE AZ, and I wandered all about the grassy area by Copper Canyon. My friend Alan and I left Ramsey Canyon on Aug. 8, after a disappointing time above Carr Canyon looking for Acmaeodera rubronotata--it had clouded up (forerunner of "Javier", perhaps) and even sprinkled a bit. "Javier" had moved into Tucson by the time we awoke in our Motel 6 the morning of the 9th, but we left well before the torrents of rain flooded the place that day. However, later, while at PHX awaiting our flight to PDX, the airport was hit by a haboob! (see image) But it did not delay us. <br />Cheers,<br />Rick (Westcott)<br /><br />Nice work! Makes me pine for Arizona!! I posted the link on BioQuip’s FB page last night.<br />Art Evans<br />Great blog, great images. I especially like the Agrilus and Cremasto pics!! I never saw a cremasto with a beard before!!!!<br />Looks like it was a fantastic excursion.<br /><br />Brett (Ratcliffe)<br /><br />Thank you! What a wonderful adventure, I love learning from you.<br />Janet Mobley Minos<br />Margarethe Brummermannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623937180200255796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446924751738546355.post-30898846285614087482016-08-31T10:06:57.803-07:002016-08-31T10:06:57.803-07:00Ja wirklich!

I do get to see snakeflies though. In fact the blog I plan to post tomorrow has a snakefly in it. Elva Paulsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642197019054496596noreply@blogger.com
