Hi all. Mike when you went there (Chelyabinsk) did you actually search for
specimens or did you just purchase from people that already had collected
them? Where did all your specimens go? As a regular Buyer from you, was kind
of waiting for your specimens to be offered up for sale but must of missed
them.
Thanks
Don
