I asked him what species does he supply, he gave me a list of ornithoptera that included species not usually supplied like O. Richmondia which got me thinking yeah hmm. Then he said he could supply O. Allotei for a price I couldn't refuse at $7 USD, in fact all the species on his list are $7 usd. Why not  yes, stay away huge scammer here. Zac |

It is pobably the rare O. allotei subspecies from Africa!  I don't know though, $7 seems like quite a lot, maybe you can barter him down to $5.50 |

Lots of great comments here. I sent "JJ" my want list which got me a response telling me that he had every single thing that I was looking for! There is no way an African supplier can come up with the stuff. YES, he is a scammer for sure.

What do you think guys... $12 is double didgits... Will my wallet swing open that wide?!? I don't think you should buy it. That would be quite pricy for such a common African butterfly! If you really want, I have some alexandrae from the USA (since it is such a widespread butterfly!) that I'll sell you for only $9 apeice. |

He is not going to reply here because I have suspended his account. I am leaving his existing posts up however, as a lesson.

It seems this person is up to his old tricks by making a new facebook account under the name: Davide Nkeng, unfortunately he added me and tagged me to a post selling various goliathus specimens, some not from the location found, and pictures used from the Internet. What raised my alarm was the same email referring to jjsunny. Just letting you guys know
