I just noticed a Classified ad, posted today, by someone 'giovinco manchini' ,about selling Goliathus beetles.
Here is the description:
''I have for sell Goliathus goliatus quadrimaculatus - the rarest full white form. Also other Goliathus goliatus forms. Many specimens, all fresh collected and selected quality. Many A1+ and some passing 100mm.
If you intersted please send me email ''
And here the url of the ad:
classifieds.insectnet.com/hsx/classifieds.hsx?session_key=&search_and_display_db_button=on&db_id=584&query=retrieval
BOTH this description and the PHOTO of this add, I think that are STOLEN from the well-known and honest dealer/collector (and friend of me) Wojciech (wojturo) from Poland. I remember an ad of Wojciech about Goliathus some weeks ago,and he had this photo and this description,as I remember (all who know Wojciech,can see that this is a typical photo of his specimens) . SO,this African(? -Bertoua is in Cameroon) with name 'giovinco manchini' ,after removing the copyright from the photo,posted Wojciech's specimen photo,and the same description(and the same title 'all types of Goliathus' ,-this was the title of one of wojturo's ads,if remember well).. BE ALL VERY CAREFULL .

. While in wojturo's original ads, the pictured form is the one mentioned in the description,as he knows what he sells,and as his specimens are real and do exist).
