My field biology students have collected many families of beetles so far
this week, including:

Carrion Beetles (at least three species)
Fireflies (just the Winter Firefly [*Ellychnia corrusca*] so far, I think]).
Click Beetles
Bark Beetles
Predaceous Diving Beetles
Whirligigs
Ground Beetles
Water Penny Beetles (larvae, from streams)
Ladybird Beetles (Ladybugs)
Water Scavenger Beetles
Leaf Beetles

I may have missed one or two families.

Randy
