Red bug sharing question

[Aquattro]

Wendell, it will be interesting to hear Ron's thoughts after studying them, althogh I had no idea he had given them more than a glance.

As far as seeing them, a handheld magnifying glass will do the trick. And I have confirmed under a scope that iodine does kill them and remove them from frags. Still, I would expect people to be more cautious about accepting strange frags.

And I'm not sure that the mother colony is a good example, since a frag is smaller and under additional stress from fragging. I also have some colonies that I believe are not doing as well as they could, due to these bugs.

Keep the opinions coming folks!!
