Hello,

Well, I found them while I was living in Martinique (carribean).
Several species I guess, somewere really huge ! I collected some dead ones in order to make some funny stuff for the house<img src="images/smiley/wink.gif" alt="" border="0" />
Live ones can be found under the sand and are especially active during the night.

bye
DAVID
