| Fairbanks, AK Posts: 1147 | Thanks. I'm just going to put that ID in the description, rather than moving it into a section on that species like I usually do, because I don't have all the beetle taxa in the database. There are just too many of them. | |

| "Bear Swamp," PA Posts: 1003 | DMM- Thank you. I'm glad you like the book. But there's certainly no need for formal address. Gonzo is fine. | |
