@Kanopus великолепная находка! И очень красиво препарирована, можно спросить, сколько времени это заняло?

All spectacular specimens from each month last year. Neck-and-neck with a wonderful spider till the very end. Our members do have a knack for finding some truly drool-worthy specimens. The sea star was gorgeous and the preparation from only seeing a hint of what was under the surface was top-notch as well.  :thumbsu:

 

 

Cheers.
