Ok so I am supposed to write and spell it as Rhombodera sp stalii ?

Is that right?

Sorry guys, it won't let me change the title.

I prefer the valida it is more laid back and I love, love the darker green.

It is not tri colored, probably needs to be cleaned!!!
I am not sure. It changes the sound to I guess.

Call them whatever you want. Doesn't matter. You're not writing for a scientific journal. Some people like to be anal about it but that's personal preference.

Nobody knows exactly what Rhombodera species they have cultured unless they send an adult pair to a scientist in France that dissects the sex organs to identifies them. There are many different kinds that look identical but cannot interbreed.

To the best of our knowledge the ones I spread are Rhombodera cf valida. The "cf" means "check first" so "best guess" until 100% verified.

You can read up on the debate and check out more photos at the links below:

Even if they aren't 100% positive valida, at least we know its a separate species from others, so why not call it valida, we all know what we are talking about. :D (agreeing with you through questions haha)

 
Yeah my name is Nick so never call me Nicholas, grrr... Haha

Gripen isn't anal, he just tries to keep it serious, nothing wrong with that! He just has no visable funny bone I think? He's a good straight forward kid!

 
I believe it Nick.

I am always interested in the proper names spelling etc .

Ok the spelling part is just a flat out lie!!!!

But when it's important to you guys it's important to me and I try to make an effort. I'm still curious about the spelling. Is it stalli or stalii?

I hardly ever cuss in the forum now because Rebecca asked me not to.

I don't mind. So I will try to get on board with the cf valida, Gripen!

Thanks! Any effort is greatly appreciated.
 
And you are a sweetie, I know most all cuss , but with youngsters on here, we don't want the mamas and papas saying we are bad influence, so thanks so much!

Because there are people who do not know what we are talking about hehe.
