Ultimate cool bug? Fire Beetle

[Arachno Veteran]

Wanted: Pyrophorus noctilucus - Fire Beetle, I'm sure it will be hard to find...

I know it's probably a long shot, but I would love to keep a couple of these in captivity (Pyrophorus noctilucus - Fire Beetle).
I've read that they are also found as close as Mexico sometimes, so I thought I would post a Want Ad, in case anyone in the US comes across them.

I used to find those "fire beetles" in Miami, Florida during the summer time when I lived there. Those are the kind of fire flies/glow bugs that we would get down south. They are a pretty cool species of click beetle! I currently live 9 hours away from Miami. If I happen to head down that way, I could get some for you, or whoever. Check my add in the Classifides for some Eastern Lubbers that are also from Miami. You may also want to post an add there, maybe even move this thread to the classifides.
