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.

About This Item

EntSoc Bug One

EntSoc Bug One is a real cockroach encased in a plastic key ring fob. He was purchased at the Entomological Society meeting in Fort Lauderdale,November 2002. 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. Please keep him moving and logged correctly.

I'm delighted to see that the bug is moving again. He's now in a cache which should not be visited by muggles but I suspect he might be there for a while.

HAPPY DAY. This is the first TB. I released. He has had a precarious life but he keeps going. I am delighted that he finally got out of this remote and complicated cache.

And here's the extraordinary part. The same date, 2/21, that ENTSOC BUG 1 was left in Seven Wonders in Oklahoma, but a year earlier, 2008, another of my TBs, Neva's Gold Hogwild Travler, TB1MG13, was placed in a complicated puzzle cache in a remote area of New Jersey. A few hours ago I got notice that this cache had finally been logged again, today 8/16, and the bug had been picked up.

A good day. Maybe I should run out and buy a lottery ticket.
