    A warm welcome to BC!
    Where was this taken at? Singapore or Aussie?
    i guess we got to wait for our moth expert Roger to come online to answer ur querries.

    In the spirit of science, there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.
