Hi all, I wanted everyone to know who live in the Central Florida area to join our group, "The Central Florida Insect Enthusiasts". Here is the information on it.

The Central Florida Insect Enthusiasts hold their meetings on the 1st Saturday of every month at the Oakland Nature Preserve from 10am-11am. Join us on one of our field trips or Insect Safaris as we build a collection of all the insects of West Orange County!

The Oakland Nature Preserve is located at

747 Machete Trail
Oakland, Florida 34760

Or you can e-mail Clayton Ferrara at theleviathansmaw@gmail.com, for more information.

Hello Bill:

Thanks for the invite for the friends list.  The field trip to the Oakland preserve sounds great , and I'd love to attend if I was in the area. Right now I'm in the process of reapplying for a collecting permit in FL State Parks. When I eventually get down your area, it would be great to visit and get out in the bush.  Have a great day.

Mike
