from a fren who said she read about it off the web, but couldn't authenticate it.... Thus I thought checking wif you experts here would be better....
Thanks anyway, btw, which are the ones that are generally longer living?? Aeneus?? Or??

I should have remembered this as Derek Lambourne is a good freind and I actually sell copies of his book
Having just read through it again the exact age was 34 years, the species was a
C. aeneus.
