Nice video! It's good for those of us who can't get to these places to see the habitats and the bugs. A nice follow-up would be to show the larvae on the foodplant in situ. Thanks! I would love to find some caterpillars, but they are so difficult to locate! Perhaps collecting a pregnant female to lay egg. Last year while up there just after I made this video I saw two mating pairs fluttering about. I didn't have the heart to disturb them although find a nice female is hard to do.

Chuck,
Thanks for the message! Glad to see I'm not the only one carting my daughter along! She's good with the camera and usually enjoys being out with me. She finds large moths cute and never wants me to collect them!
Matt

During COVID exile I had to create lessons for my classes using video. One decent camera, a microphone, and some crash courses in video software later I became interested in video production. Last Spring I headed up to Papilio indra minori habitat and filmed my experiences.
I'm hoping to make some more videos this coming spring and Summer. Please let me know what you think.
Hope you enjoy!

I thought folks might be interested in a slight aberrant P. rutulus I collected last summer in Gunnison County Colorado. Aberrant specimen is on the right and has more basal black than usual.

Hello!
I guess I deleted my video from Youtube, so I re-uploaded it. Below is the link!

The main problem from the United States is the flight to French Guyana. Last time I checked, the only US airport into F.G. was through Miami. Otherwise you have to travel to Paris first. Budget-wise, the largest expensive is the airfare.

I store papered specimens before spreading in sealed plastic ziploc containers.

I know this will be a piece of cake for you guys. Two Papilionidae from the Malay Archipelago that I'm unsure of.

Does anybody have pictures of their Colorado hairstreaks (Hypaurotis crysalus) that you could share with us? here are some of my Colorado Hairstreaks. They are perhaps the most beautiful butterfly in North America and the most fun to collect because of their atypical behaviors.

Here are my few Great Purple Hairstreaks from here in Western Colorado. I find them from time to time in our desert canyons.

A few of my Peruvian butterflies have small green spots, emerald in color. Anyone know what it is and what has caused it? Over hydration perhaps?
