		<description><![CDATA[We caught this beetle in the back yard on July 31, 2010. I can&#8217;t remember now whether we caught it with a sweep-net in the grass, or whether it was one of the ones that we collected by putting a tarp under a small tree and then whacking the tree with a stick. Both of [...]]]></description>
