Don't fall for this person. They don't have pics of the bug you want, and she/he said that they are from Oceanside,CA yet they are in Cameroon. Hylophora columbia doesn't fly in the Oceanside area. They have H. euryalus there. This person is obviusly a scammer. Don't trust her/him.

dont worry i havent
they kept tryin to urge me to buy so i let them have it! i sent them an angry email last night and they didnt reply back
here is what i said:


do you not take a hint? i know your game! i've been taking u on a ride and getting a rise out of you since you sent the first email!
before i even posted the ads i read a topic cautioning me of peeps looking at wanted ads and taking advantage of you
i played the dumb card to test you, there is NO SUCH THING as a TRIPLE BROODED STRAIN!!! hyalophora are univoltine no matter what and if you really reared them your response wouldve been along the lines of "this species only has 1 brood"
why do you think i didnt just say, "how many broods a year do they have?" or mention ONLY 1 brood in my question? also pretty convenient that you had the triple brooders, if i didnt mention a preference you wouldnt have known how to respond!
LUNA MOTHS only have 2 broods here, do you think a CT summer is long enough to rear 3 broods of a HYALOPHORA SPECIES???
and how can you rear a temperate, cool weather species in TROPICAL AFRICA with NO NATIVE HOSTPLANTS OF THE SPECIES??
do you think i would randomly buy a species i knew nothing about? that would be stupid and irresponsible! before rearing ANY species you must be sure you know how to and are able to care for it!
i know your game is to offer me something thinking i impulsively want it and think you can just make up facts about it to get me hooked then charge me for something that doesnt even exist! how can you rear something you know NOTHING ABOUT? you probably havent even heard of Hyalophora columbia columbia until i posted the ad!!
you havent even told me how much the alleged eggs cost, and have given me no references or peeps to tell me whether or not you run a legitamate business
and a legitamate business runner would not respond to these allegations the way you do, being all like "oh i'm sorry, wanna buy them now?"
someone who actually knew what they were doing would be like "then dont buy from me!!"
trust me i've dealt with a lot of peeps some with good business others with not so good business
i've never even heard of you and out of the blue you offer a species you know not a thing about!
and i sense you are afraid that i'm onto you!
your game is to hold the power and as long as you have it, peeps will believe you and you will be able to take advantage of them
you feel me slipping away from your "grasp", hoping i wont think abt anything, hoping i will just fall for it and not question a thing
trying to convince me to buy something that doesnt exist!
dont quit your day job because your little scam isnt working all that well
i've been onto you since you said you had a triple brooded stock, your act isnt all that compelling
your income depends solely on peeps not stopping to question what they r getting into
the moment someone asks you something specific you start to worry, which is why you havent been too detailed with me
the only questions of mine you answered were ones u felt the right answer to would compel me to buy
you avoid any questions that actually benifit me as a buyer!
if you cant fool a 15 year old you cant fool someone twice my age!
good day to you sir!!

[joee30]

that's good these scammers didn't fool you. The sad part is that they have fooled older people into buying "triple brooded" Hylophora columbia.

[joee30]

I'm having fun with this scammer as is. They are so gullible. I told him/her that I am rich and can afford her stock. I'm waiting to see how much they will charge me. lol

[creobroter]

i get a rise out of fooling scammers lol
i like to turn the tables lol

[joee30]

Well, he/she replied to my inquiries with a quickness, and they offered bugs from outside their continent. She is supposedly from Oceanside,CA yet has to go to Cameroon to collect Hylophora columbia and cecropia, and also can collect Papilio indra fordi, and Philotes sonorensis because they are very common in Cameroon. I am planning on sending them a payment of $1 american dollar by western union. They will be really ticked to think that they were going to get thousands just to get a buck for all their trouble.

[creobroter]

lol u r a genius!!

[joee30]

Well, they are trying to fool the wrong person. Hylophora has one brood each year, and Papilio indra fordi and Philotes sonorensis are found only in CA. They must think i'm an amature. lol

[creobroter]

exactly my test on them! as soon as the mother ####er said "3 broods" i knew they were bull###ting me

[joee30]

The thing that got me was that that person just copied and pasted the names of the bugs I named, and said that they were very common in their area in Africa. I wanted to call them out on it so bad, but instead, I will have them get pissed off when they get a western union call to pick up their money and it will be a buck, than a thousand dollars.
