We saw the goal for this bug, and we sympathise. We tried to get one to San Diego so we could visit it on a trip only to find that it went missing.
With only two months to go, we thought we'd give this bug a fighting chance to achieve its goal. We are going to bring it to a large-ish event in Chicago next Saturday in the hopes that someone attending is going to be heading to LA. We have our fingers crossed for this little guy... best of luck, and happy travels!
