Compnerd:

Anyone is welcome on the hikes, provided they follow and respect the SCABIES guidelines and philosophies.......whatever they may be on that particular hike.

So, of course you can bring your buddy and your dad! The more the merrier.

computer problems and i'm working graves at work for three days, heh



yup, meet at my house at 5:30-6 and we will do dusk and night hunting and hiking. so, even if you do (or don't) have a blacklight everyone coming should bring a normal flashlight too. there are a few other bugs that a white flashlight can potentially like, suss out easier... wolf spiders and others have eyeshine

 

[compnerd7]

I just talked to a guy in San Diego that I have to go and meet tomorrow about a snake, the only time eather of us can do this is tomorrow at 4 (I had it planned 4 2day but that fell through), so HOPEFULLY I will be home in time to make it to the hike, but I dout it.. there's now a 20% chance that I will make this dusk hunt, we will see

so just to be safe, count me out 4 tomorrow

 

[NBond1986]

Hey everyone,


Count me and Earl in for tomorrow night!


I'll see y'all at Andrew's at 5:30-6PM

dang, that's too bad. if you send me or warren(wburke) or neshan (nbond) a PM with your cellphone number or something maybe we can still work something out. both of them have cell phone numbers i expect they would share with you (i am sufficiently lame that i don't have a cellphone)

ah, nice. see you this evening







@all
i forgot to get my snake some food so i have to shoot over to the LPS right after i get home from work. i don't expect this will impact meeting at my house in any way, but i just wanted to let anyone meeting there know, just in case

Friday The 13th

FRIDAY THE 13TH


A) YAHOO GROUP!
B) Friday the 13th Night Hunt
C) Bug BBQ
D) Local Events




A) YAHOO GROUP!
Warren (wburke17) has started a yahoo group for us!
It has a calender function and threaded posting... and
isn't under the jurisdiction of any of the other
forums, heh. This is the start of our move away from
using any one forum as our primary meeting area. It
is not that i dislike the forums or anything... i just
think it would behoove us to have one central location
to coordinate all SCABIES events
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/scabies/
Please stop by and join. I don't *think* you need a
yahoo id to join, but i am not for sure on that.

B) Friday the 13th Night Hunt
Woohoo! Nothing better than a dusk and night hunt
with an almost new (dark) moon on Friday the 13th! I
am actually pretty excited... supposedly the phase of
the moon affects the habits of scorpions... and i
believe the dark moon is supposed to be one of the
best phases for hunting! That being said... it is
going to be DARK out there folks! Once the sun has set
there will only be light pollution and stars
illuminating us... so you should REALLLLY try to bring
a whiteflashlight in addition to any blacklights you
have. Earl, try and bring your first aid kit. i am
pretty sure i will walk into a tree or something... i
do it enough during the day it is almost a surety at
night. heh. meet at my house at 5:30-6pm. one tiny
little problem.... my housing tract is so new that you
can't use mapping programs to get there. map to

12201 Blue Spruce Drive
Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739
which is an older part of the tract but is on my
street.

PM or email me or other SCABIES members for my actual house number and telephone number

C) Bug BBQ
We are still definitely going to have a Bug BBQ... the
where and the when are still being worked out, though.
There are a couple tentative possibilities as far as
location that are being investigated. A couple of the
possibilities will be at dry locations. If the BBQ
shakes out to be at a dry location (that's no drinking
of the alcohol) then we will try doubly hard to have
the next BBQ at a wet location

D) Local Events
http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=97283
there is an event at the Quail Botanical Gardens in
Encinitas. Basically an hour and change from LA. It is
July 14-15.
Quail Botanical Gardens Insect Festival
Come Celebrate the Wonderful World of Bugs with live
displays, hands-on observing and more!

Date/Time: July 14th & 15th, 2007, 10am - 4pm

Fee: Members Free; Non-members: Free with Garden
Admission

It's a negative for me tonight:8o for it's my anniversary tonight .
and im leaving early friday morning(7/20) to head out to new mexico till the following saturday, 9 days hopefully i'll be coming back with a car full of goodies . im gonna take my lap top and hopefully the hotel will have a connection, well see. W

 

[~Abyss~]

How long are you planning to stay night hunting. It's most likly a no for me i'm lke 90 percent sure but with no supervisor for a week and the fact that I brought my own car I could probably sneak out of work early today. The only problem is me and my dad work at the same place so I would have to come up with an excuse. And Neshawn please get my scorp from Andrew's. And let me know if you still want to go scouting the hills these weekend I'm pretty much free.

Friday the 13th Night Hunt

Hey, what all did you guys find last night? i would definitely like to make one of the night hikes - maybe if there is ever one on a Saturday so the late afternoon traffic isn't so bad. i think i'm feeling the need to add a centipede to my collection!! LOL

scorpions! at least two genera (Anuroctonus and at least one Vaejovid) we had to keep moving areas cuz we were finding *too* many!

to those who have been to the Day Creek Canyon... the cliff with the holes, where i caught the first scorpion? we saw at least 10 on it! i think we caught like five. i caught either a very fat or very gravid female Anuroctonus sp. and twirl caught the cutest little juv Anuroctonus sp. John (one of the newest SCABIES and first time hiker) caught a Vaejovid species baby. Could be a Paruroctonus silvestrii... could be something else.




@everyone who went on the Night Day Creek Canyon Friday the 13th trip... did we actually catch 13 scorps as a group? i brought my one home...

also, check your scorps for mites! the one that i brought home is thick with them!

I *think* that I alone brought something like 9 home.....(2 of which you gave me)

Then there's John's 1 (I think)

Your 1

David's....(dunno how many)

But it was a good number nevertheless.


And I actually didn't catch a good 5 or 6 scorpions that I saw.....
Either they got away, or I just didn't bother.

They were EVERYWHERE!!!!

if david got two, which i think he did, then we caught 13 scorpions on Friday the 13th! that rocks!
