If indeed that is true, you would have had close to a World Record Holder! Tell your parents that it is an investment. You could sell it for much more than you paid for it. At least get your parents to allow you to take a photo with a measuring tape for scale. For several years, there have been requests for photos to substantiate claims of large VFT traps. So far, no one (AFAIK) has come up with a convincing photo of a 2.25-inch trap. As our fearless leader Dubya is fond of saying: "Bring it on".[b said:Quote[/b] (dewy @ Mar. 30 2005,10:39)]I saw a vft at Lowe's with 2.25 inch traps. I would have bought it, but my parents would not let me.
