I spent a week with the staff of the insectarium there and was floored. Hope you get to see it, if you’ve not. I heard a cardinal trying out its song, and have crocus buds in a sunny, south facing patch, very promising…good hunting, Best regards, Frank Indiviglio. Hello Noel

Today I observed a shiny black Staphylinidae about 9mm hope to ID very elusive also a 7-8mm Carabidae with shiny dark brown elytra another unkown. I've been putting fragments of sardines and for the first time raw chicken fort ants beetles and sowbugs. Calosoma still cozy in soil. Wish I could do this for a living. Best Wishes Noel Morales. PS hope to be going out to park soon to do some winter hunting. Hello Frank

I also presently have these small very shiny black carabids fairly active even when temps are between 30s & 50s. My ant colony still thriving in soil complete with winged individuals also visible through glass. I have'nt had a chance to work on rest of list which are inverts which im still in the proccess of at least getting right genus. Best Wishes Noel. Hello Frank

Just the list, in whatever form is easiest for you, would be fine… I don’t have a place to publish it now, but would love to see it for my own interest and share with others who I know would appreciate it. Perhaps I’ll write a blog article on NYC inverts in the future, would be great to have it on hand for that as well. Best regards, Frank Indiviglio. Hello Noel,
