That is what the seller explains in its description A+, Michel He must have changed the description, maybe he is reading us.

No Olivier, since the beginning, he mentionned fake female in the title and male cut with scissors in the description. You can see that its description has not been edited !!! But he may also read this forum, and he would be welcome to do so ... A+, Michel

It begs the question why anybody would offer a fake female for sale and why anybody would want to buy it. Unless someone else would like to try their luck offering it as a genuine female.

interesting info on insectnet insectnet.proboards.com/thread/6861/series-papilio-antimachus-females?page=1&scrollTo=50629Thanks Africaone for posting the link! I am the author of this thread on Insectnet and have several females in my collection (and for sale) as shown below. In addition to size of the females against males, they have no 'white' markings on the verso of the forewings-so you need to see the verso and the abdomen and ovipositor in my estimation is quite distinctive from the males 'claspers'. So you need to see the verso side of the specimen and a closeup of the oviposter. Buyers should ask for these photo's and sellers should be posting these additional photo's. If they don't they may have something to hide.
