A Directory of Friday Beetles

November 23, 2008 by myrmecos

I’ve posted enough Friday Beetles that I can no longer remember which species I’ve already done. Some species were almost posted twice out of sheer forgetfulness.  Must be the academic scatter-brain.

So to keep them all straight I’ve made a list.  This is mostly for my own good.  In any case, here is the Friday Beetle Directory:
