I like so far what you have posted ! Papilionidae are never short of enthusiasts or interest. My compliments on your fine job of spreading --- very nice.... When you do post an image please always try to include a scientific name with it (including subspecies if you know it). Also, post any data you may have on the specimen. Other collectors will not only find it more informative; they may even be able to correct any identifications you have (concerning subspecies) based on the locality data.
Post more of what you have please. Always a pleasure to see things others have acquired. Best regards Trehopr1 !

Beautiful Papilios ! Have you had a chance to collect them by your self ? It must be amazing to see them in the wild.
I have recently met Papilio palinurus palinurus on Koh Samui-Thailand for the first time. I could not walk away and stop enjoying this beautiful creature flying around and stop to sip some minerals from sand. It was a perfect A1 specimen however as it is protected species here in Thailand I did not collect it. I really regret I did not take my camera with me.

Paul no they are collect by others and I buy or exchange to get them It takes a lot of time, effort and luck to find such fine specimens in the wild. |

It was a perfect A1 specimen however as it is protected species here in Thailand I did not collect it I have met palinurus in Bali and blumei in Sulawesi. True that these Achillides are breathtaking ! palinurus "send" some green flashes when flying, very impressive ! |
