Good, it's about time!

I should have the Bandai 'Life With Insects' figures sent to me in a couple weeks, once my dealer gets the weta and goliath beetle :)

Well, although they are very nice the prices are sky rocketing (the retail price is about 7 Euro) and it is sold for 9 times that price (some). So I will wait awhile till the demand drops. In it's wake all other insect figurines on Yahoo have gone up in price. 

I ordered the larvae of X. dichotumus though, which was not to exspensive ;-)
I am being rather picky these days, while I am shrinking my collection.

My dealer secured them for me before the prices went up. So, the larva is A. dichotomus? Nice!!! I couldn't tell what it is. I know the caterpillar is Papilio xuthus and I assume the cicada is Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata. I am happy for my first A. dichotomus larva!
