hey everyone, I'm writing a book! Well, 2, but the one I want to talk about here is a book about my perception of the world and its life. I am writing about 100 (or more) species I've met along my journey here, and how I feel about each one of them. I do not know when it will be finished, but I...

Wolven sent me a fresh adult male Hymenopus coronatus to breed to one of my females. He arrived alive and there were a few silly little trinkets in the box as well. The only criticism I'd give is that the box was a little small given there was a heat pack included, but it didn't kill him so it...
