    1. Than you! I'll be going to Kanneliya forest tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to get some more interesting species. I have a snail species that I've sent to a specialist to be identified and a damselfly of the Platysticta genus I will be sending to an expert be ID as well. Posted 7 years ago
