That's upsetting

Very upsetting.

But, these things happen in nature; whether it's due to humans, geological processes, etc. I would not doubt that another Lucihormetica from the surrounding area will move in and perhaps quickly speciate, producing yet another novel species that may be equally beautiful and intriguing.

Wish I'd live long enough to see it... I guess we'll have to be content with the boring Lucihormetica we still have.

Here's one that's now extinct in the wild but still exists in captivity.

Can't they breed them and introduce some into other less threatened bat caves?

Any idea when these will be available in the hobby? : )

I'm not sure I'm supposed to say but the guy I know of who has a decent group going is the only person I can think of that you and I both know well.
