Top species you want to see in 2025?

In 2024, I want to reach 2,000 yard species and achieve more progress on my Ripiphorus research. I want to spend time in southern New Mexico, especially to photograph specialist bees like Ancylandrena larreae and this wedge-shaped beetle (expected but not yet documented in the state), and generally continue to explore the southwest with my camera when I’m not working or volunteering for the Xerces Society or gardening.

I only made one trip to southern NM and creosote was not blooming, so I’ll repeat what I said last year.
