      1. That genus is now on my wishlist for sure! Posted 10 months ago
        1. You should consider making the foul potion: fish or rotten shrimp, grind it, mix with urine, spray on leafs. It works like magic. Dozens of species that one would otherwise not see.

          This particular forest is full of gems but on my lengthy walks without the potion, I barely saw any. They're there, but you just don't see them.
