[Nhcoll-l] laws concerning transport of Agrypnus notodonta

Fri Jun 15 13:05:16 EDT 2018

... I don't know how many of these beetles should be carried - if it is 
more than one or two and could give a signature on the x-ray machine at 
Cairo airport, some arabic paperwork is definitely recommended. Once had 
some trouble with formalin fishes and had to unpack everything (without 
gloves, of course)
