      They're doing well for themselves Ernst. From here they have traveled to many parts of the world. Posted 5 years ago

    Oh that's what it is! I found one of these under a plant pot yesterday Mark, sadly deceased and didn't photograph and yet to ID - amazed at the stunning colour. Really helpful to see this, thank you. Posted 4 years ago
