Since we found this one by accident right in our driveway, I doubt that they are particularly rare. It's probably too cold for them right now (it's only 2 deg. F at the moment), but now that I know that there are insects out in the snow other than springtails, we'll probably go out to see what else is there next time it gets up close to thawing. Speaking of which, what's the best way to preserve a specimen for mailing? Sure, I can try to find a specimen for you.

I haven't even ever heard of those. I know you aren't one for catching and killing (normally I am not either) but I would love to examine one up close or even add it to the museum collection. I understand if you don't want to but I figured there was no harm in asking. That is bloody amazing! I haven’t even ever heard of those.
