uhh... And I was wondering a bit about the rather late date and the form of the thorax... awkward
I have never seen that species in real life...

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
