Talk:Odontomachus

Distribution
Article says "Odontomachus species are found in Central to South America, tropical Asia, Australia, and Africa". I found one in my apartment in Greece. I killed it, but I kept the "body". I had found another one many years ago, over a decade. Is it irregular but normal or significant? Should I take it to an entomologist at the University? Simanos (talk) 01:21, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
