Placerias chinasaurii aphidus Infestation

[blackdanter]

OK, so there I was doing some gardening type stuff when I discovered some pests on one of my prized New Zealand tree ferns (Dicksonia Squarrosa to the uneducated). I believe that these are Placerias chinasaurii aphidus ............... ;D

Actually, my interest in botany far outweighs my interest in paleo type stuff

Here's a pic.



I managed to use all of the anti-pest weapons in my armoury (salt, pointy stick, hungry dog, angry tone of voice, flamethrower etc) and solve the issue by means of horrible death in most instances. However, five of the devils remain in captivity.

Three are reserved: Cordy, Stoneage & Theri (guys, please PM me to confirm) respectively which means that two remain so PM me if you're interested (I can't imagine that I will have time to hunt for more but if demand is great I shall pick some up if I come accross them :.

The cost will be postage alone (I'm not bleeding rich you know : They weigh very little so it shouldn't be a great hardship.

If anyone can source me seed for Sinopanax formosana it will not even cost you postage (is that the sound of Wikipaedia crashing?).

Takers:
Radman
jhudstone
Stoneage
Cordy
Webdragon

Please enquire if anyone is interested as I have some time on my hands this week and may be able to source more. - Few more sourced, last few as no more available

UPDATE - 4 MORE LEFT.

A neat little figure but I will pass on it as others on the list would value it more than myself.

Sorrry no Sinopanax formosana seeds. Would you like some Proboscidea parviflora seeds instead?
