Not really a competition.... just having fun.  I'm happy to see us adding quite 
a number of species to the "official" TN list.
If I have time next year, I'd like to send mine off for DNA.   I would also 
like to search for leaf folders, rollers and miners..... raise them and DNA 
them.   I need to go to the higher elevations in this county too.  There is a 
treasure trove of habitats here.
TN should have at least as many species as KY or NC.
I think we have done a phenomenal job in recording 785 species to date in 2011!
BTW, Ken is at 452 and I am at 369.  I had 350 total last year, so I'm thrilled.

  I didn't realize it was a competition! :-)


  With a possibility of 2500 or so species in the state, there are still a few 
left to find. I'm pretty sure Jean isn't far behind my totals.

  Congrats, Kris.  Keep it up.  Sooner or later Ken is going to run out of new 
species......  maybe...LOL
