  1. Fantastic atmosphere in this photo, Stuart, love it. Posted 9 years ago
  2. I see that you have tried a couple of species but you are not there yet - this is an Anacridium aegyptium. Posted 9 years ago
    1. D'oh! Thank you WildFlower - As you say, I did try a couple of different species but unfortunately failed a few times and then failed again! Appreciate you putting me right though - I'd never in a million years have picked 'The Egyption Locust' - Purely for the reason that I incorrectly assumed you wouldn't see those in Greece :) Posted 9 years ago
      1. Most of the photos we have are from Greece actually. I also found two of them there but I haven't uploaded any photos yet. Posted 9 years ago
