Merry Christmas, Ted! All the best to you and your family in the New Year.
Merry Christmas to you as yours as well, Adrian!
Have a wonderful festive season with your family.
Although I am a novice with beetles I still enjoy your photos and information a lot. Thank you for all the interesting information every time
Thanks, scrapydo! I appreciate the nice comment.
Merry Christmas to you and your family also Ted! It is snowing here in Arkansas, so we are having a White Christmas after all! Happy New Year in 2013!
Merry Christmas to you as well, Rob! I’m hoping to do some collecting in Arkansas this coming season – maybe we’ll have a chance to hook up.
I showed this to everyone! Happy 2013 (gasp!)
