DEAR FRANCK,

These lambis lambis and lambis millepeda hybrids, and the eventual
hybridisation with scorpius are all very rare. One will get only a few per
year out of tens of the thousands that are handled. They are not a new
species. Also, the Lambis, while grazin on the bottom doesn't know where he
is within the range of its species, there should be no projection as if
these animals are thinking as humans.
The Lambis crawl around, very often a female and a male together, within a
one meter reach of each other.  They do not see what's going on, apart from
the few meters around them of course.

Guido
