Hey guys,
A bunch of people from the entomology club at my uni are heading down to Georgia for spring break in about a week and a half. We're going to be camping overnight in GA, as well as VA. I've never been to Georgia or the areas we're staying at in Virginia, so I was wondering if anyone had ever been to any of the following places, and if so, what should I look for in each of the locations? Although I'm willing to look for anything, I'm mostly interested in finding large Dolomedes (Tenebrosus and Okefinokensis), trapdoor spiders, and scorpions. Also, if there are any interesting vertebrates in the parks, that would be cool to know, too (I'm especially hoping to see an armadillo, but I'm not sure we'll be south enough).
Here are some of the campgrounds/parks we will be visiting:
Goose Point Recreation Area in Bassett, VA (overnight)
Oconcee River Campground in Greensboro, GA (overnight)
Ben Burton State Park in Athens, GA
Holiday Campground in LaGrange, GA (overnight)
Lake Sinclair Recreation Area in Eatonton, GA(overnight)
North Bend Park and Campground in Boydton, VA (overnight)
Thanks!
