Putting this here as a note to myself and anyone interested.

I went through the illustrated section and circled all the ones BugGuide listed as occurring in Texas to make it easy.

I had originally planned to spend a week in Little Rock, but now I'll only be there on Saturday, May 18th, to do the Rattlesnake Ridge Bioblitz because I just had to buy a new car.

Earlier this week my 15-year-old car started making strange noises. I drove it to a mechanic and it died in the parking lot. The mechanic's verdict: it would cost $3,000 to fix a $500 car. It was completely dead. I knew it was at the end of its life and was nervous about driving it to Little Rock, so I'm glad it died here instead of all the way over there. I'm excited about my new car because it means I can drive around and do nature things without worrying about getting stranded.
