best AZ bug places?
I'm going to be in your state ~June 13-19. can anyone recommend areas of AZ that are good for bugs? general areas would be useful in addition to specific parks/cities... I'm especially interested in heros, after that non-myg arachnids and insects.
thanks
thanks

cool, so far I have no definite plans and I'll likely be going around a large part of the state... where are you going to be hunting?

D. granti are an august find. heros are a possibility in many areas. the pajaritos are a good place for heros.

Re: best AZ bug places?
yeah, portal is the only place i'm going specifically for bugs. the others are for natural structures/things my parents want to see. (and i hope to find -something- there)
i'd most like to find heros, after that other pedes, true spiders and other arachnids, and after those non-T mygalomorphs and insects... there aren't really any specific species i'm looking for.
those places aren't set in stone, if you have suggestions for places roughly close to those areas that would be awesome.

well, if you are going for sight seeing... then go anywhere. most of these things can be found almost anywhere. portal is alright for bug hunting. the pajaritos are the coolest for bug hunting.
Re: best AZ bug places?
where are the pajaritos? i found a couple different places with google.

the pajaritos are just west of nogales. there is only ONE pajarito mts. they are THE mountain range! some of the coolest stuff in the US is found there.
Re: best AZ bug places?
looks like that would be a ~2hr detour... probably won't be able to make it there. =\

well, portal is still beautiful and one of my fav places to go. there are really cool critters there too. youll enjoy it.
Re: best AZ bug places?
where in portal do you recommend? like, should i stay in the flattish/hilly areas on the edge of the mountains or go into the valleys?

Re: best AZ bug places?
it really depends on what you want to find.... i recommend doing both. hunt in the mountains interior and hunt the flats... its completely different species inhabiting the 2 different habitats.
Re: best AZ bug places?
If you get up in the flagstaff area let me know and I can try to get some time off and go out for an afternoon. Or I can give you directions to a couple of areas for bugs.
