    To whom it may concern

    I will no longer be selling, trading or keeping ANY invertebrates. I will not go into any specifics, other than to say that it has come to my attention, in a rather disturbing way, that the USDA is cracking down on keepers of mantids, assassins, etc (which it presumably views as a potential...
