Dear fellow collectors,
I will be in China from the 10th to the 30th of September on a business trip. At first in Beijing and then in South China and could possibly
go to Yunnan for a few days. Is there still any good butterflies and places that would be worth a visit? Both in Beijing and in Yunnan?
Any specific place in Yunnan especially that would be suitable at that time?
I am looking forward to your ideas.

You can not collect in China without permit.
To get permit is really difficult .

Thanks for that reminder, I wasn't aware of it. I dont necessarily have to collect, I often just take photographs, in May I was in San Francisco and it was great to watch Papilio zelicaon on the twin peaks, directly in the city. Unfortunately I could not get a photo with the skyline in the background since they all were on the southside of the south peak. wollastoni do you have a link for the rules about foreign collecting laws? I found this list, that was posted here earlier by someone www.theskepticalmoth.com/collecting-permits/ Are there any more recent or longer lists? |

Beijing should be the end of the season + you won't see anything really interesting. Yunnan should be good. I recommend you not collecting alone, find a Chinese local contact. You should write to Chinese ebay sellers, they may help you and guide you to the good spots. For collecting permits, they are indeed hard to obtain, but you can try... you are a bit late though. The list done by Chris on the skepticalmoth.com is the most up-to-date that I know. We would be very happy to see your Chinese Lepidoptera pictures on the ICF.  |

wollastoni thanks for that advice. I have a few good locations now that I will try and take some nice pictures if I still find some and I will definitely post them here as soon as I am back.
