Sebbe might not like you promoting his presence from other forums on here - he is the same Sebbe as was outed here several times for being an internex hoaxer. He is on many other forums including TSEF, pretending to be various other people.

I thought that name was familiar.;) I remember his 'internet zoo' that was a major hoax on Zoochat for a while- people were very envious of his 'collection'. :D
 
He's also on ZTL and is, I suspect, one of the major sources of inaccuracies on the site :p

For the amusement of anyone who has not seen the legendary hoax.....

Pics from my private zoo in Myanmar

A fair few of the photo links are dead, but enough are visible to get the general impression of what sebbe67 tried to pull!

"While undertaking a comprehensive survey of native and introduced fauna on the remote and beautiful Lord Howe Island, Australian Museum scientists have discovered a species of beetle not seen in nearly 140 years.

Oricopis insulana has proved to be an extremely rare sighting. A wood boring longhorn beetle that was previously thought extinct, it was originally described by an AM scientist in 1890 from a single specimen collected on Lord Howe the previous decade."
