June found me in the beautiful mountainsides of southern Greece, where I found Euphycus Paradise in the lower valley of the Kuakiou River, Lakonia. Recently collected therevids from these Taigetos Mountains and the descriptions I had read of this region gave me confidence that I would find Euphycus speciosa somewhere in these hills. I placed traps at three elevations along the western side of the Taigetos range, following the highway that cuts through the mountains from Kalamata in the west to Sparta in the east.
