Wow!
I didn't receive your email! A specimen from Kentucky would be awesome! Do you still have this beautiful mite?

Yes
If you will email me and let me know how to pack it I will be happy to send it. It hasn't eaten but has drank from a cotton ball. What should I feed it before it dies? I was actually shocked it was still alive.

Didn't mean to make that sound like you hadn't answered the email. I just sent it last night when I posted this. I had not looked at in since I took the pictures.

Email
I sent it on Friday at 9:59PM to the address listed in your BG account. Could it be in your junkmail?

I checked
It isn't there.
Sent you an email about an hour ago, just reply back to it.

Strange...
No email received. I'm going to try sending from a different address. It should be there in the next few minutes...
