Charaxo,
You should start a new thread about Charaxes in the "Show your insects" section rather than here. More people will see them there, and you can have a discussion about Charaxes without it being diverted by new presentations in this thread.
Adam.
PS. Nice specimens!

Michel,
I moved the post and replies here. Now we have a thread for photos of Charaxes where I hope that you and other collectors can post interesting specimens.
Adam.

Splendid, splendid, splendid ! Keep them coming Michel !
South African Charaxes are rare in collection.
I myself only have 2 drawers of Cameroonian and Madagascarian Charaxes, love them a lot.
