Figure it was about time to keep all of my favorite photos in one place, and give myself an excuse to re-engage with the forum after turning into a lurker for so long!

I hope someday you can! I’m not in the position at the moment, but I would hope someday to be able to export your way.

I believe there are a few keepers with A. coronatus on your side of the pond though, namely in Malaysia and I believe Hong Kong? Either way you’re right definitely not enough diversity available out there.
