Plecoptera poeyi?

I know, the southern hobbyists need to step up their game and get some in the hobby! Hey Cariblatta, these can be found in AL, get to work!! :P
I'm saving money for AZ trip, but once that's over I'm planning to collect some rare roaches (and other inverst) in FL. Now the sad part about this hobby is that I've been introducing some native species to the hobby but not many people seem to be interested in them :(

 
Yeah, but they can be found in your home state! Good luck with your AZ trip, there are some really cool roaches there!

Hey, I'm totally interested in the native species, even more so than most tropical species! (Parcoblatta have become one of my favorite genera). I just rarely have money to buy roaches, and when I do it never seems to coincide with your sales!

I'm actually planning an AZ collecting trip in March. I'll be mostly confined to the Northern part of the state, in Kalibab National Forest and Grand Canyon National Park. Is there anything you want me to look for?

Thank you :) I've looked up the place where picta has been found and it's quite far from where I live. Also, I doubt that I'll have much luck finding this Chorisoneura sized roaches in the middle of the forest when I'll only be there for few hours.

You can always PM me when you have money to buy Parcoblatta ;)

Well, any Arenivaga are a nice find, there are several species in AZ. Compsodes schwarzi is another really cool roach missing from the hobby. There is also the elusive Parcoblatta notha, that would be a very nice find indeed!

Don't get me started on the darkling beetle fauna there, when I was keeping those I would have died for some of the species there. Alas, I am not really into keeping those atm.

Hope you can find some cool stuff there! :)

Oh well, that's too bad. Hopefully one day we will see this pretty species in the hobby!

Thanks, will keep that in mind! :)

Unfortunately most things on that list with the exception of Parcoblatta are too far South for me to collect on that trip. I will do my best though! Also, the darkling beetles are one of the soul reasons I am going ;)

Oh well that's ok. Hope you can find the Parcoblatta!

And cool, hope you can find some really interesting darklings there, show us some pictures if you do! ;)

 
I have a bunch of friends that will be down in Florida over the summer for a conference, but if they need a break I may ask them nicely to hunt around for some roaches for me lol. Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to drum up the funds to make the trip myself, but if I did I would just skip the conference and just go collecting the whole time!
