To all,

Thanks, Fernando, for your colourful stories about the bicho do pe.
However, I cannot resist to comment on a sentence you dropped by the
way:

> (...) and that all around are dreadfull man-eating plants. Well, at
> least the people in this group know that there are no man-eating plants,
> though we all wish they did exist!! 8*)

The fact that no precise report on this most fascinating creature
exists does prove that the trapping mechanism must be rather
elaborate and effective. But as yet no proof can be presented that
the mep does *not* exist!

;-)

Kind regards
Jan
