Somewhere around here I've also a detailed flatbed scan of a largish butterfly. I'll have to upload it for you. Cheers, Marc |

i draw the line at cockroaches. sorry.
(and crustaceans, right. it seems so self-evident to me that it didn't occur to me to mention it.) |

I know this is difficult, after last time (Well, how was I to know you wouldn't like a large box of live spiders delivered to your door by InterArachnid?), but...trust me. If you like scarabs, you will be fine with "Giant Burrowing Cockroach", as the "cockroach" part gives the wrong impression (a bit like calling a Sugarglider" a "Flying Tree Rat"). They are the weightiest cockroach, and look more like a "beetle" than a "cockroach". They're about as long as across the palm of your hand, and heavy, and they only eat dead vegetable matter (mostly dried and rotting gum leaves I believe). Sort of like insectile cows.

oh, and i have no idea what a "sugarglider" is but if you mean flying squirrel, then you should really be ashamed of yourself for sullying the good name of squirrels by associating them with cockroaches. crustaceans : alive, and in their natural habitat, they don't bother me so much. i like looking at crabs. sometimes. (oh, i know you don't speak fluent french (although for someone who claims that you seem to do all right, with that fish in your ear) but i can't think of crabs without thinking of this brilliant short animation : la Révolution des crabes you should watch it just for the images, in fact). EDIT : the sound seems to be mysteriously missing, in the first link... surprising, since it's the official site... here's another version, if it doesn't work for you either : http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x20...rabes_creation please tell me you're joking. a shiver ran down my spine just reading that sentence.

If a scarab or rhinoceros beetle is the proud, horned bull, then the Giant Burrowing Cockroach is the simple grazing cow. Quote:

What is this "bou" of which you speak? My fish is silent on the subject.

(See attached: I did them as attachments so that Queen Zee doesn't have to look too closely at them if she doesn't want) Sorry 'bout the quality of the photos - they're taken standing away (to avoid scaring them) and leaning over, and through retreating waves - thus the blur.

Yes, I agree, if only to increase the net total of kissy lip faces.
