Hi all! i've been a member of insectnet forum since 2011 and collectors-secret forum since 2017. but i've never posted any photos, just browsed the forum and read the articles and put some words in the welcome thread. maybe a week ago i've registered on facebook too and shared some photos of my collection there. but now i decided to start showing some of my drawers here on forum. it is a trial post, so if you are interested, i can take a photos with camera. but now all photos are taken on phone. i admire all your collections, and i hope you will enjoy my too. best regards , Boris i will start with some p.ulysses autolycus/altovolensis forms

for 5 years the drawers were just kept at the country house, but now my working cabinet is ready so i start to put it all in one style. i decided to have about 130 to 150 drawers 40-50cm size, no more. it is all about hobbytime, not work. but all drawers should be well-kept. a lot of work has been done. and plenty of work still need to be done, including repair and respread work. lets continue with some p. maackii forms from Japan. spring/summer generations.

i have also p.ulysses drawer from north moluccas ssp. telegonus, morotaicus, dohertius. one place is reserved for p.ulysses telegonus female from kasiruta is. do not ask me about jamba location. i do not know where it is. i guess it is a simple ulusses telegonus from bachan or halmahera. but nice form anyway, specimen from frankfurt 2018.
