I've heard a lot from Singapore about how fragile these guys are and luckily mine seem to be doing very well so far. It may not lead to anything but I'll get in touch with our supplier and see where they get these guys from. I'll see how far I can trace these guys and hope to find some factual answer about where they're all coming from. Fortunately we aren't ordering them anymore and haven't in such large numbers, more like 2-4 at a time, and they go for $11.99.
