hi John, thank you for the guide. i simply viewed the posts,i add some words,according to my little experience with this chinese that working there,he told me the native people caught in palm tree and gave him,the natives there knew little about insects,they don't know what "portection",it depends i think,depeneds on what kind of native people. i don't think it is so hard to collect there,for ex. you walking in the road at night,and encounter a x.hero on the ground and you pick it up and put into your bag,who knows? then send it by EMS or registered mail back to your home. that's easy. a friend of mine who are belgic he traveled to Costa Rica months ago,caught some beetles in the beach and other forest outskirt,alcumilated a certain quanity then sent by EMS back to Begium,if the postoffice there don't open to check the parcel,parcels will be easy to go out,that's one of the hope! try it when get to a new place!

it's CITES. seems no available on market ,does anyone know anyone have it? and ok to show photo? Fiji ,capital city there're a few chinese working there,one told me he saw Xixuthrus before. they feed on plam trees. he caught one i think was not Xix.hero but other Xixuthrus sp. females,the photo is very fuzzy,not clear. i asked him to help me collect and i can pay him by each specimen,this stupid man seems no any interested on this deal. what a great opportuante i lost. Xixuthrus is one of my several most desired prionidae families. ;D

it's said in central america like Costa Rica,insects deal is normally forbidden, however we see quite some sales from commercial websites.the sellers obtained thouse Chrysina and other a few beetles from C.America by what methods? i heard from mexico perhaps some that the people from their countries also work in central america this maybe a opportunate,and maybe also vist there by oneself to collect?
completely don't know this.

since IFTA was closed(WHY closed door?),insects from PNG seems unavailiable?
and nowadys traveling country to country is much easier than before. a airticket slove problem,but no one make hunting trip to PNG?
i ever talked a bit with friends,said it is dangerous to collect there due to the security(crims possible,maybe rob etc. for $$). and native tribe people ,no idea on their custom/tradition,what can do and what forbidden,if collecting insects in forests doesn't offensive them? many questions/problems.
another question: nobody in PNG use computure to do insects business? maybe legally forbidden normally by their authorities? but as i know,some countires also forbidden unlegal insects export without a pert. yet some dealers did,like as in china,this dones't harmful to society(it is a hobby!) so the goverment just ignored this normally if not into the several portected species.
and a problem of the widespread use of compture. infomation is easy to be found from commercial websites,the poeple there may see wow our insects are good value i would perfer into this business soon?
but yet no any sign of thouse . this makes it's hard to collect insects from PNG,a paradise for wildlife.
hope this situtation will change in a near future. ;D
