[QUOTE="Lioth, post: 7747, member: 469"] Not, not at all. My mistake over there. I am trying to keep only emperors, but what I meant to ask was that is there somebody out there in the world that are trying to collect wild invertebrates and then breed them in captivity so that we'll have our own captive bred species too?
