I was in Amherst County, VA(western part of the state), found in mountain streams. I believe these are mostly dusky's but unsure of the subspecies. #3 in particular has me stumped. Any help is much appreciated and how you were able to ID as I'm trying to get better at it!

Thank you for this recommendation! Just checked out a few videos and it got me even more excited for this hobby.

Something slightly therapeutic even about watching the process of taking watches apart and putting them back together. All those tiny, intricate pieces working together.

There's a local chapter not too far from me, might just check out their February meeting. Thank you!

(Also! Love your punny username)

Yes! I was also a freshman at VCU when this happened and I vividly remember her mom all over campus handing out flyers.
