Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Pesty critters and field collecting
I was wondering if any of you field collectors has ever backed off of an area due to :
flys
mosquitoes
nats
ticks
chiggers
wasps
bees
anything else
while field collecting or waiting to
My past experiences :
In Sarita Beach Texas> I had so many accumulating seed ticks that I had to leave.
Of the Glades of Missouri> ticks and chiggers galore made me cut an area short.
Big Bend at a rest stop waiting to night cruise > flys and wasp so bad that we had to drive before time to hunt to keep both away from us.
Kansas Flint Hills > dry year and it was getting so that every good rock that was lifted contained wasp nest and 3 of us sustained multiple wasp stings. Had to give up on a very promising area.
Langtry Texas of the canyon just next and east to the town and preparing to walk the canyon as the sun was going down with hoards of mosquitoes coming in to attack. Had to leave !
