    Hello there Delbert, those are fine beetles named after a true gentleman; we miss Frank sorely. By the way, the female was found with the help of my Dog's nose (Jepson). He's getting excited with the approaching system....bring-on the rains!!

    All the best,

    I miss this time of year in California with the approaching rainy season, that scent of wet oaks and pines and brushy understory.

    Too bad about Frank - we all miss him too.

    Thanks for your visit and comment.

    Best wishes, ...
