One question I have is has anyone experienced any problems in getting specimens from Juvisy back into UK? don't want to get into any more trouble!!! Sellers have CITES permits for Ornithos so no legal issue bringing them back to the UK. By plane, I recommend putting them in your registered luggage as customs in Paris airport are very cautious (and they are right to be so) and may fear you hijack a plane with the pins of your specimens. The only time I put it in my cabine luggage, they saw it with the X-rays and ask me several questions. As the guy I talked too was smart, I had no issue, but you never know.

When I was travel back from French Guiana I packed my pinned Arctiidea in checked in luggage and after a while there was announcement calling my name to see security office. Airport officer told me that I have a suspicion device inside and she has to investigate what is it. After explaning and showing my moths she was smiling and said she was thinking it is some music instrument. They were very professional and friendly. Too bad I can not say the same about US customs and security, they would cut your locker go thru your luggage without informing you and leave the piece of paper saying they checked your luggage. If they would find some insects you could be f....d for good. Paul

"The UK voted itself out of the EU - as some may have noticed - but the divorce is still only being initiated, so I can only guess how the CITES status is between the UK and the EU now."
Absolutely everything is the same as before with regard to all laws until the day that the UK actually officially leaves the EU at the end of the process. As a result no CITES permits are needed at the moment to move listed specimens between EU countries and the UK, in either direction.
Adam.

The effort to post the photos is greatly appreciated!
Did I read that right- Amphion floridensis for 30 Euros? A species I don't even bother to pick up anymore! I wonder how many I have papered.

Amphion floridensis for 30 Euros - offered, not sold And yes American bugs are more valuable here in Europe as barely anyone ever bothers sending them out, but not this much. I have sold one of them once, I forgot how much it was, but probably more like 8€.

Yes, amazing. I note that the Sunfish (lepomis) is a popular aquarium fish in Europe. Here I could catch a thousand in a day!

Sunfish will bite anything, very ease catch in Ontario too, not much to eat though.

Thanks If you include the incomplete column on the left the specimen you are asking about is Delias hyparete a seasonally common species even in cities, since it feeds on Loranthaceae that live on mango trees. The specimen below it is Delias descombesi, both these species are commonly found in my garden in the right seasons. Adam.
