Current Goal

ENTSOC BUG1 began his travels near Fort Lauderdale, the site of the 2002 meeting of the Entomological Society of America and would like to travel to the vicinity of future ESA meetings and be there about the time of the meeting.  Reno Nov. 2011, Knoxville, Nov.2012, Austin, 2013 Portland OR, Nov. 2014.  His original goals included getting to Brisbane Australia for the International Congress of Entomology in August 2004 and he arrived in Oz in Febuary 2004. He then traveled from Melbourne to Brisbane and at the time of the congress he was in a cache very close to the convention center where the entomologists met. He's now back in the USA and ready to travel to a future ESA meeting.

He had a twin ENTSOC BUG 2, whose travels began a few days later but he went missing several years ago. EntSoc Bug one is the first travel bug I released and he's one of the most successful.

I know I should have marked this one missing myself. I hate to see it go. My first travelbug and one of my most successful. I'm pretty sure it's in the hands of a noob cacher who took it but never logged it. Multiple polite e-mails to the noob and person I think was caching with her have been ignored.

Goodby little bug. You have made a couple miraculous reappearances in the past. We can hope for another.

Sorry for the delay in dropping this off. I was originally planning on taking this down south until I realized that the next convention is in tennessee. I was back in missouri for the weekend so I dropped it back here. Hopefully we can get it closer before the convention.
