Collecting in Sri Lanka

[Peik]

Hey forum

My family is planning to go to Sri Lanka next summer, and I was wondering if anyone here has experience or knows the rules regarding collecting/exporting insects in Sri Lanka.

I have read that India is quite difficult, but does anyone know about this island?


Cheers

Simply, it is totally forbidden.

Hey Adam,

Thank for the info, what I suspected also but had to make sure!

Best regards

Sri Lanka is very strict, and there have been prosecutions of foreign collectors there.

Take your camera and enjoy some nice pictures of the butterflies. I wouldn't risk anything with a net there.
