Does anyone have a hankering to go collecting for the purposes of scientific
research on the behalf of this gentleman from G.B.? He will pay shipping
expenses and will also give a reference in any upcoming publications to
those willing to help him obtain specimens of F. heteroclitus. I would do
it, but I am in F. grandis territory, and they eat F. heteroclitus for
breakfast! ; - )
Regards, BG
