Salut Jean Manu,

Very nice picture! Good luck with breeding them, you should have no trouble finding a female nearby in case you do not have one of your own.;)

Syndicate, unfortunatly, still unsexed. I only sex with molts, otherwise I do not bother and that specimen destroyed the molt, we shall see at the next one.

Take care

Martin

I have freshly molted fully adult females of both O. costalis and O. sp. "Koh Samui". I am situated in Denmark (northern fringe of EU ;-) if anyone is game for a shared breeding project ;-)

Thanx Martin,

You are right, this male has a very nice breeding project.

Hello Søren,

I will give the male O. costalis to somebody who has got some females, I think you know him...

But if you want I have a freshly adult male O. sp. Koh Samui.
