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.
