Post by CatsandFish » Tue May 12, 2009 4:16 am

I would agree with it being smithi, too.
They often come in mixed with yunnanensis

Thanks for the fast replies guys :D
Well this H. Smithi is a daft one then, it,s always out and about.
His H. Yunnanensis though is a different story all together,
won,t see that fella all day long
