Settings are in the first post. And setup, you can see my equipment link in my signature.

Approaching JS have to be done slowly. This telemonia is very jumpy. It will respond to movement, so have to move in slowly. sometimes they hide below the leaf, so I will use my hand to 'pressure' them to the top, and than slowly move in again.
