Very nice and not so nice find :). We don't have these creatures at all - fortunately maybe. I've never seen one in the wild. Excellent capture! Posted 9 years ago

  thanks a lot Ari. Frankly, when I saw the first one ever, I was 14 and in France with the girl guides, it sent me 1 m backwards. Found it in my boot and was really shocked :) Posted 9 years ago

    I can totally understand. I'm pretty sure 1m wouldn't have been enough for me for the first encounter ;o). Posted 9 years ago

Nice capture, Annette! As far as I know there are 4 species recorded in Bulgaria, but I've never seen one. Posted 9 years ago
