How would you send a letter to another country? I have only sent letters in the states.

Utopia -- many of the carriers offer international mail. UPS, Fedex, USPS. I have found when international mail COMES to the US, it comes by USPS most often. Although all three I think have stations around the world.

Jim, in the last few months, more and more people on eBay from the UK simply don't want the hassle of shipping to the US. I know because I asked <_<

Peter, tell me more about this sticklist email system. How long has it been in effect? Well established?

I'd like you to try again. If it still doesn't work, I will email the moderator of the list and ask them to contact you. Please PM me to let me know whether it worked for you on the second attempt, or not. I might not see this thread again.

The original sticklist was available through Exotics.net (terrarstik.com) and consisted of phasmid enthusiasts from around the world. Around 7(?) years ago it was shut down (due to the same kind of bantering that was going on in a mantidforum post on cockroaches the other day). A patriotic former-member named Ursula started up a new version of the list almost immediately, however some key original members did not re-join. The new list consisted mostly of newbie members and I also stopped participating at some point. When I re-joined the list a year or two ago I was pleased to see that many of the former members were active again (mostly European) and that there was a regular and healthy community thriving. Earlier this year, Ursula resigned and turned over the reigns to Derek, if memory serves (UK member).

Members from the list send an email (or reply) to an email address. Derek, the moderator, edits each email and sends all the day's emails in a single condensed forwarded message to all members.

I would like to add that keeping Carausius morosus (Indian Stick-insect) is not the best choice of stick-insects for US residents. They are a potential pest species and have been known to survive California winters.
