Personal gift from Dan Capps

[Phil Kuhns]

As compensation for a recent art commission from famous insect collector, Dan Capps, he generously sent me several pinned insects from his personal collection! Check these out!!

 

[Dynastes]

That Hercules is an expensive specimen, congrats!

 

[Regiarbol]

Wow look at that! A gray hercules! Is it lichyi? I also like the cicada at the bottom. It has interesting wing patterns.

 

[Phil Kuhns]

hey thanks! you know, Im not totally sure exactly what species the dynastes beetle is. I wouldnt know how to tell the difference between hercules and lichyi, and Capps didnt send lables.

 

[Lucanus]

Congratulation!!

Lucky you! You got G. orientalis as well.
