Has anyone ever dealt with Bill Jason?

I've been in contact with him about purchasing some oothecae, but I've never heard this guy's name mentioned before. I'd like to make sure he's legit.

I found him today actualy by chance... i was hoping this was all legit because I REALLY want a chinese mantis...

 

[Reeves]

There are quite a few things I'd like on that list... Especially Rhombodera basalis (which I've been looking for for a while).

You should have no problem tracking down some Chinese elsewhere.
