Nice paint job...although the colour coordination seems to have gone out the window,could do with some "Go Faster Stripes" down the sides. Made in North Korea by the look of it....Batteries Included? |

Yes, I have, but this species is very interesting - I didn't see it yet. Maybe you have a couple for me ;-) Andrzej dr. A. J. Woznica, Institute of Environmental Biology, Wroclaw University of Environmental & Life Sciences |

Unfortunately, no. There is a very strict law on specimens in Australia. (more than in relation to the Spain, for example) |
