Bine, nu într-adevăr. În realitate nu colectează fluturi, și mai ales nu aceste birdwings gigant.

De Chris Grinter, on September 15th, 2010% Un scurt clip din spectacolul genial, Destul de interesant. Începutul discuției este în ceea ce privește insectele de coșenilă – deși se referă la ei ca gândaci! (see buggirl)
