If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

I think I got very lucky the first couple of times and now I think they are all hard. I probably should sit down and try to better understand how the classifications work.

Rose - I think the first few I did were all mammals, and I wasn't prepared for thinking out of the box, like other vertebrates, let alone invertebrates. We are just lucky that the selection list is such a small sample of what is actually out there.

From the British Natural History Museum: "There are roughly 400,000 species of beetle known to science, from miniscule insects less than half a millimetre long to giants longer than a chihuahua." Nooooooooooooo! :scarey:

I think maybe they exaggerated a little - the biggest beetles are only about 6 or 8 inches long.
