On my first attempt to collect insects, I went to the nearby pond at the Homestead Community in Sunnyvale, Texas. I caught three or four beetles when I stepped in the mud at the edge of the water. I'll need to take a look at them under the Leica Dissecting Scope in order to identify them. Flying insects are abundant here - I attempted to catch a few, but my net was both too wet and too short.(Note to self: bring two next time, and make sure that one of them has a long reach!)
Dredged a little with the net, as well as with the bucket I brought - I'll take a look at my catch when I get home.
