Thought we might all help each other out by trading tips and stories.

I've recently moved back to central Florida and have been finding many "ox beetles" (Strategus anteus) around places that leave mercury vapor lights on all night. There are a few places around town that I frequently check. These lights give off a bluish tint and are used in many parking lots. Also found a smaller fixture in home-depot for around $25. Works great with a white sheet.
Good luck collecting...
