I am afraid, the damage caused by light, I believe cannot be undone. Dear Nomad Uploading a couple of specimens of the species - Milionia Celebensis - Day flying Moths from Sulawesi-Indonesia but I cannot find an identical colour match for these specimens on the internet. Can you comment please. Attachments:

Very good, can you post images of your specimens here? Accept what you are saying about the specimens not being inside a drawer protected from light so now the specimens are put inside a drawer and would they turn back to yellow again I wonder.

And do people have specimens of the brown variety as you say it is a common colour change then it should be appearing everywhere on the internet.

Bought by my father in the 1980's Dear Nomad An observation made with the few specimens I have of my father's collection : A Common Jezebel with yellow colour 40 years ago is now white. A Red Helen from Singapore again and here the red colour has turned to a light brown to cream. I have read comments on this thread which say yellow turning to brown referring to the Troides Helena Ab Rutilans - now is this colour change possible ?

I would be most interested to know, if members regard Troides helena ab. rutilans Oberthür, 1879 shown here, as a natural occurring morph? I do have two specimens of Troides Helena Ab.Rutilans Oberthur and both are well preserved and of the black above and brown/red below variety. Vivek from Goa-India ( vit.goa@gmail.com )
