Are you looking to buy wholesale or specimens for your collection? I don't know the answer to your question myself, as the only Sulawesi dealer I know of may have a slightly questionable reputation and I'm not sure if he's even still in business as I haven't received any offers from him for several years. Someone who does know the local Sulawesi dealers may be able to give a better answer if they know what you want to buy, quantity and type of insects (eg. rarer or bulk common species).
Adam.

You will find dozens of butterfly dealers in Bantimurung but they all sell crap. I don't recommend to go to Bantimurung, it is a tourist trap and not a good place for butterfly collecting.
You should definitely visit Puncak Palopo area, very good spot for collecting.
Once in Puncak Palopo (a very small village), go to the restaurant with a small view above the forest and tell locals you want to buy some butterflies ("Kupu kupu"). The local seller will come, he has good material from Sulawesi. He and his son can also guide you into the forest.
I don't remember his name sorry.

Thanks for the information. I hope to be going there next month and just wanted to know of any dealers there.
