Hey Allen,
yeah, she gaped her mouth at me a few times, but never tried to bite. I've found that when I first catch them, if I just gently reach under & pick them up without restraining them they are usually pretty mellow. If you grab them by the head, or handle them roughly it seems to set a more aggressive precedent.
Anyways, I'll still keep my eyes out for a red-eyed lucy & I'm going to set a few funnel traps out near my board pile - if there are eggs in there, they should be hatching around the 21st.
Cheers,
Max
