So far so good in my case!
I found numerous new records, and encountered couple very rare species of insects. I'm so excited when I find something new, never found in area where I've been studying!!

Pictured insects are Lucanus placidus, one of four stag beetles species found in the United States. This is my first time seeing this many in a single night!!
