      Thanks! I have 7 specimens left to process from this batch, only 1 is a beetle :)

      It was kind of a winter stock, this whole series. It has costs a huge amount of time to work through it, but it makes for great practice in this tricky hobby.

      I might take it a bit slower after this batch, or perhaps I've come accustomed to it and continue, not sure yet. What I do know is that there's no shortage of subjects. The supplier I got them from has many more species. Might be fun to involve you in picking a few from their "catalog" when the time comes. Unless you have poor taste, then I'll say it got lost in transport.       Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

        Yay for more specimens! It's so fun to anticipate what you will post next.

        Oh, and my taste in arthropods is impeccable.         Posted 4 years ago

          Note that it may be a while before I order again, so you have lots of time to think about it.           Posted 4 years ago

              haha, just the beetles section is about 15 pages. I anticipated you'd feel like a kid in the candy store :) Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
