Polly,
Two quick questions: do you ever get any Cleridae (checkered beetles, for example Thanasimus) to your traps? We have an Australian colleague who would send us ambrosia beetles if we sent him some clerids. Please let me know.
Second question: would you please put together several (lets say, four) synoptic collections such as those we sent to Uruguay? There are more colleagues who are asking for such a representative collection. Simply: please put together four sets of approximately 20 to 30 species of beetles that are common around here and of which we have lots. Please let me know if you need more input on this.
Thank you!
Jiri
