I'm going to assume by the National Park thing that collecting is probably not allowed.

Cheers,

I agree. Collecting in national parks can get you in BIG trouble.

It is very illegal. I worked at Yellowstone National Park back in the summer of '88 and I know for a fact that it's illegal. You probably wouldn't get caught but if you did you would wish you hadn't taken anything in the first place. Honestly it's not worth the headache.

I'm not poking you with a sharp stick...but, if you want to go scorp hunting, go in areas around the park...not in it.
That's the point of a "National Park"...to give species a safe place to go.

I just got in from Mesa, Arizona yesterday and I found that I could find some great stuff by going to near by fields and looking under boards and tires. I found hundreds of scrapes and lizards alls over the place. I brought home a little scorp, 2 black widows and a 3" centipede. If I had a UV light I could have caught scorps by the kilo.

Do you speak rigoolar inglish?
Some folk are trying to tell you that you will get in to trouble if cought there, so what's the point in that: to show off in presence of class mates? Read Dostojevski if you want to fascinate someone. Being illegal is ain't fun - it's childish and stupid.

Don't...because all it will get is you flamed and eventually this thread locked and possibly you in trouble depending on where you take the flaming that is sure to come.

Collecting in National or most state parks is illegal and gives a bad name/image to the honest collectors like most of the people here. If you want to discuss illegal activities don't do it on Arachnoboards.

A touchy subject, absolutely nothing I support. Collecting should be left to breeders. At any rate, thanks for that stance John.
