| Our intrepid guide in Victoria: the Right. Hon. Nick Porch, who is not really a hobbit but is nonetheless very much at home out in the mossy woods |
(Nick's daughter Maddy takes a picture. I think she's better at it than I am, cf. "The Wallaby Series") |
Nick found us all kinds of awesome stuff, like a certain grass genus with the very beetles Caroline had been yearning to slaughter. If you look closely, you can see the murderous gleam in her eyes. |
Also procured: Live specimens of Paragyrtodes, a genus in the tribe I'm workin' on. I've been doing Agyrtodini for about 2.5 years, and this is the first time I've seen one of them alive. *snif*. |
