Hello everybody,

How long you had to wait in the past or recently for orders with R. Westphal from the insectcollector
I had some good deals in the past but last year I placed a small order in february 2011 !!!! I wrote him a few mails concerning the order but my last mail I've sended to him , he didn't even replied anymore...... so that makes it 15 months now !
I guess he's mostly occupied with the "big money" for rare and expensive" neotropical species....and that's why I guess he doesn't border anymore to pay attention to small orders with some European leps.....

Sadly that money tooks over the enthousiasm that it ones was !

I am sorry, but sometimes I am realy to busy even to answer everbody, that would make everybody waiting even longer.There are always tons of emails and orders I have from the past few month/year.... I am travelling since over one year a lot to get new und rar material and had now already over 2 month health problems, it´s just impossible for me to catch up all the lost time in couple of weeks and I am still not realy OK. I dont work only on the Big "money"Orders as it might seem. I dont forget anybody, even if it takes several month till I can work on your orders and I understand also if somebody doesnt want his order after so long time. The job I do is actualy to much for one person(collecting+ travelling,buying-trading, spreading insects for shows,preparing almost weekly updates for my site,taking pictures for my website.....) as most know I have a huge variety on leps you cant find anywhere else........ for this reason I cant stay all year round in my office, with the "usual" stuff you can buy from suppliers around the world in the net, it would be impossible for me to survive in this business
