Thanks Keith! I find it amazing too, but every time I look I seem to find something new! Most of my spottings are right here on my own backyard - I usually find less when I'm hiking & I think that maybe because most of the hikes I do are in wooded areas whereas the bugs I find here seem to prefer sunnier spots.

Another amazing find. I am envious of the diversity of insects you find. I spend my weekends hiking miles in different locations and don't have as much success as you.
