Mr Walker told me he has South African Orthoptera (but he just had copy pasted the species I was looking for, which made me sceptical), but when I asked him to send me photos of his bugs available, he first told me "ok I working on it", then a few days later he wrote this reply: "Sorry Change of mind, i just found my pics posted by one fellow Choa Frank on insect.org claiming to have them and want to sell. I have reported on the site and will no longer send pics to any one. So if you are serious of buying these specimen, you can get me your address to proceed Regards Dennis I thought this was a funny kind of excuse not sending pictures

my question is, how can I instruct an unexperienced collector on how to kill and preserve large, fat crickets? killing: -is it best to place the specimen in a freezer? -or throw it in boiling water? (Ethyl Acetate = complicated for instructing) preserving: when it's dead, how shall it be preserved to obtain the colours and for oversea shipping? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Genus is Mallodon. And they are a pair (female on right). The shape of the genae (on the base of mandibles) seems more close to molarius than spinibarbis from this angle, and not like dasystomus. But please could you post clear photos of their heads, focusing on the base of their mandibles ? I would like to examine better the shape of their genae, so to be sure for the species, as also we don't have collecting data. And please take the photos of the heads not from this angle, but from the normal one (the beetles to look not to us, but straight foreward). Thanos Sorry there is collecting data available; I don't know why I didn't see it before... > GUATEMALA, Alta Verapaz, Quixal

Dear Thanos, thankyou for your help. Excuse my delay for posting better pictures, but I hope now it is easier for you to look at the details. Thanks again, looking forward to a reply. Attachments:
