Here is my cabinet drawer of the Delias clathrata group. Not to bad for a starter and still a way to go, but I do like these New Guinea Mountain species very much. My first drawer with Danny's neat labels.  Thanks are due to my friends Danny and to Olivier for his time and help with the labels .  |

Very well displayed . Every drawer should look like that. Unfortunately space limitations not always allowed that . |

Thanks you Paul. I guess I am a bit of a spacer but if I get others I might have to close in the gaps but I would never overlap. I would prefer to start a new drawer.

One of my clathrata drawer
For sure, one of the most difficult group to gather as many of them are extremely rare in collection. |

Great - Olivier. Nice series of rarities. T he D. hemianops are special. . I was thinking which of the Clathrata group is my favoutite, it would have to be D. inexpectata, a very unusual species from the Snow Mountains. |

Another drawer of group clathrata in my collection.
Some rarities like a newly acquired Delias hiemalis hiemalis form hitam but also Delias mira excelsa or Delias clathrata limata.
Less rare, but lovely, Delias autumnalis autumnalis on the left of this drawer.
All of them from New Guinea mainland.

Your hiemalis hiemalis are rather unusual; I don't have any with such a distinct and well-shaped FW band. It's either indistinct or rather broad on all of mine.

Since we're posting clathrata-group drawers, here are mine; the first also contains the small albertisi group. Photos are rather outdated, but give a good idea of variation.  delias drawer39 1132 by D B, on Flickr  delias drawer40 1133 by D B, on Flickr |
