New Acquisition - A big bug!

Meet my new pet...Cambropallas tellesto. Totally housebroken and docile. Never bites. Eats very little, although it did eat a meal worth about $145 when I first got it.

Very nice bug Prem. I use to sell a lot of those, but most were faked in some way or another. You have a really good bug there.

Very pretty.

If I saw a pair like that at that price, I'd have bought it for sure.

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Which is why I called my wife from work during lunch and consulted with her whether we had the funds to afford it... About a week later, the same vendor had one an inch longer for about $170 and another for $135 that was an inch shorter...she must have a connection who found a nice 'honey hole' in the desert.

You should be careful. Those things have been known to take fingers!

...I'm back.
