Rare Butterfly from China mainland

[mark jackson]

Hi,   Has anyone ever thought that  he can't
read english very well, he states it on his email.
If no one answers him he cannot sell them.
Maybe we could put him in a Chinese
slave labor prison making toys for our
kids, but a better idea is to educate him!
