I am planning a big southeastern road trip with a couple friends from Sunday to Sunday (18-25th July). We are heading from CT to N. Florida and back up north through the Appalachians. We have a lot of interests for general naturalizing and insect collecting, and we will have MC/UV lights.
I am posting here to see if anyone has any good collecting spots on the east coast. I am a Catocala fan and would love to get to a good spot for tapping, but if it's too cool a spot for light and bait. I am planning on hitting a few spots already, like coastal SC and the mtns of North Carolina and the Blacksburg area of VA, but we have an open itinerary and a good amount of time to spend. I assume most state forests and WMA's are safe to light in on the east coast? National forests and state parks tend to be a no-no.
My friends tend to be into larger sphinx and saturnids, including rearing eggs and caterpillars, but I am a Lep guy with a side interest in some beetles and dragonflies.
I'd appreciate if anyone has good sites, and you can PM me if you would not want to share publically.
