  • johnarthur responded:
    I had no idea there were so many different kinds. Do you know how many varities exist in the wild?
  • admin responded:

    ok guys, I’m setting a challenge here. Let’s try to gather images for all those discusses (that is no copyright violation images - meaning taken by ourselves or another forum member, taken from a CC image database, etc.). We can decide if we want to upload it to the gallery, or send it over to helinova, so he can update this post. Whenever we manage to find an image helinova will mark that species with a “V”. What do you say?
