daaa OvO luda buba! :)
lako, napravi si mjesta kad pojede koru :D većinom su to trula stabla...staviću ju u misliju ako hoćeš :D
Omg...a ja bih je imala. Kako tako nešto ogromno stane u drvo-fascinantno!
ogromna je, bar 2.5-3 cm, živi samo u šumama i to u stablima, razbili smo drvo i ona se pojavila, kod nas je strogo zaštićena....može, može...
Wow prekrasno :) nisam to vidjela još! super kako joj stoje antene!
