There is another interesting insect auctions in Drouot (Paris) next 9th November, including some rarities like a melanic Ornithoptera miokensis or some pairs of Troides miranda Click on "Catalogue" here to see the different lots. As there is no offered Delias, I won't attend it.

For what it's worth the melanic O. miokensis male is the exact same one sold at auction last Oct. 13.2014 In fact, I might add that the entire box of 4 specimens is the same one sold last Oct.2014 I have the pictures. And yes, as mentioned by Rich lot 236 has a decent lampsacus along with I believe 2 specimens by Lemoult. The lydiae pair in lot 238 look to be A- at best. Maybe a possible bargain there given the price estimation. Look forward to many more pictures. Funny that whomever bought that miokensis box in the first place is now trying to flip not only that but maybe the rest of his collection. Strange twist of fate.

Maybe it was not sold and withdrawn by the auctionner as it often happen due to "reserve price (?)" by the seller ! A+, Michel
