Wow, never knew of the existence of this extraordinary species !
Have never seen it pictured anywhere. Never seen it in any private collections over here (that I've seen).
A truly unique and magnificent species !
Thank you so much Dave for sharing with us.

Thanks Trehopr. It is a lovely species. I see males offered occasionally but this was the only female I have seen offered to date. Purchased about 15 year ago.
