Hi Jim & All,                                Aug 28, 2013
    one set of records from our yard (16 Overlook Rd., Kentville) =
follows
The none in 1996 means no record; the Apr. for 2000 is spurious and =
refers (I think) to an adult that found in a cavity under a rock.

    There are only two from more recent years.

    2002, none, 2003 June 12, 2004, June 8; End of June Bug records.
Yt, DW

    Hi Jim,
    I'm not on the mailing list for the naturalist society. I was =
wondering if anyone keeps track of junebug emergence timing (when they =
emerge each year). Any chance you could post a message asking?


    cheers,
    trevor
