I'm a freelance writer and videographer, and spend most of my days exploring Florida's natural wonders from a kayak, a bike or rambling down a hiking trail. A Florida native living in Citrus County, you'll often find me watching the boats go by on the Homosassa River. I'm always sharing stories, photos and videos, so follow along and together we'll discover Florida's natural treasures.
Come one, come all to the last open house for 2012 at Three Sisters Springs! Event is this Sat, Feb.11: http://t.co/CYi515em

New Beetle Discovered Near Auburndale
August 31, 2009

Hey bug lovers - I've got some news for you! A beetle collected in 2007 has been recently identified as a new species, which has been named the Auburndale scrub scarab. Neato!
It just goes to show you that Florida still has plenty to discover - it's a wild place! Also, the beetle was found by Donna Stark, a volunteer helping to improve Florida's database on rare invertebrates. That's a perfect example of the great work that volunteers do to protect and maintain Florida's natural wonders.
If you are in the Auburndale area, keep your eyes out for the scrub scarab!
