I will take you on a great hunt as long as the weather is good.

Are you still collecting them for a breeding project?

I'd love to come down with you guys one day if that's okay? Planning to go to AZ for some herping and wouldn't mind seeing some inverts along the way.

I have 2 weeks off at the end of March..... I didn’t see any data for spring. What do you all think for a spring excursion to Pinal County??

Results will depend on the weather - not just for the time you are there, but for the weeks prior to your visit. We've got very pleasant weather right now in Arizona, with a slight cooling in the next week or so, I'm guessing it should be pretty decent for collecting by the end of March. We've had plenty of rain during the winter, which is also going to improve your chances. Drop me a line at <bsavary-at-mindspring.com>

Thanks! I’ll email you soon

I have a trip booked to the Davis Mountains this summer and I'll be looking for heros while I'm there. I'll post my findings here if I'm lucky.
