Yes the beating is unfortunately too little used in Africa! Many hunt for light what is good but although very ungrateful sometimes, beatting performance in quality of species (to my eyes) much better than light .... The species are not the same however the surprises are (in my eyes!) much more spectacular to the hype. I also come back from South Africa where I hunted in the W Cape and unfortunately the drought hit the Cape region and many fires in many forests have done damage! So very few longhorn beetles because too dry even the forest humus are dry on thick! But in spite of everything, I captured 2 new species with beatting, of which probably one belonging to a new genus (?) of Acanthocinini reminding a little genus Illaena and Mimillaena of Oceania so to follow ....
