<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 8234789, member: 77704&quot;]Man, its nice to hear &quot;common sense&quot;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There was the same stupidity under the Clinton era. A scientist friend of mine/ collected papilio indra kaibabesis larvae in Grand Canyon Nat&#039;l Park. He bred them at home letting them feed on their natural food plant. When the pupae hatched into adults, he ended up releasing half of the adults back into their habitat. Kept 20 pairs that were perfect, sold one pair to me. He got busted by F&amp;W in a night raid/&nbsp; fully armed agents with machine pistols....to arrest a 70 yr old scientist? Eventually they tracked down and confiscated all specimens sold to US collectors. My name was in Dr. Skalski[ATTACH=full]1448445[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1448446[/ATTACH] data, so they sent me a letter to send my specimens to them. I told them to take a hike<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I eventually sold my pair to a Chinese coll. for $3600US. Because of all the BS with bug collecting, I decided to sell them and go full bore into coins.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> So, we have to protect our hobby from these do-gooders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
