LOL! Yes, Francisco definitely won the best prizes.
Al and I came back with...
newest edition of the Tarantula Keeper's Guide
mounted T in shadow box frame
$125 gift certificate for educational science/nature catalog
Exo-terra 12x12x12 habitat
t-shirt
B. smithi sling
A. versicolor sling
A. minatrix sling
P. pulcher sling
H. villosella sling
2 P. irminia slings
Al give the P. nigricolor to John. Maybe John will post a pic of it.
I think that was it, I might be forgetting something. Between the raffle and the spider mall, we came back with a box full of T's.
The best prize, though, was being there. _________________ The future belongs to no one.

Al tossed it to me right after he picked it up off the raffle table and I'm still in shock! Thank you Al, this is such a cool spider. She's about 3.5" and always out except for whenever she grabs a roach she snaps back into her hide like Thing's hand in the coin bank, lol!

Here is Me, Peter klausen (Bugs In CyberSpace)and his wife
Night Collecting At Pena Blanca Friday Night
My set up
Nice Moths
Nice Beetles
My friend Bob Duff's and his Canadian friend real professional set up.
Mercury Vapor lights run by small generators.
Notice the amount of stuff these sheets and lights attract.
Johnny was walking away from Warren, I think Warren told him that he looked like a walking condom.
Johnny was wearing the poncho to protect himself from all the moths, small,large and Huge that were crashing at us on their way to the sheets.
Noticed the two lights one is a black light and the other one is Mercury vapor light, these two produce two different light sprectums, not all the bugs are attracted to the Mercury light and vise versa.
Some Bugs just fly to the edge of the light, and not to the sheets so we were regularly walking around the camp to collect some cool stuff.
Most of my Dungs,Water bugs and Strategus were collected at the edge, not at the sheet.
Warren being very selective, he almost look like a pro.
Nice Tiger Beetle
Me next to the sheet,
Saturday Night
Collecting at Pena Blanca
Kyle and Scott looking at moths on the sheet.
Pure Darkness, wait I hear a noise perhaps a Bear??? or a Chupacabras???
Oh no it was only Warren,Anette and Dawn (dawnsfall on ATS) coming back from collecting scorpions down the road.
Warren acting like a chupa cabras!!!!!!
I did not want to tell him, he had a huge spider going up his shirt.
Moths started to come and just land around us, lots of nice ones.
These were taken on our way back home.
I hope you like the pictures. Can't wait for next year.
