Diego, I agree with you..."Since we don't have all that information, we can't use it as an example for any argument, other than it's an oddball find." And they should never have hijacked your strand..

It is an oddball, and not something that happens everyday. We'll never know exactly what it is, and it could have come from the hobby rather than a wild pairing. It doesn't tell us anything about the wild populations in that location. Now if you find more like that, then you have something really cool to work with.

Best holidays...Terry
