I finally got one, Argema besanti, the 'Holy Grail' of African Saturniids! Never thought I would have one of these in my life.  Dave Attachments:

Congratulations, Dave!
Perhaps someday we will get to see the larvae of this much sought after species.

Thanks guys! Bill, feel free to copy the image or I can send it to you. The data only reads Kenya, local collector. I will send other details later.

A very beautiful and hard to get species indeed. I have had recently a REAL offer from a European dealer for an A1 male for 1500 euros,but I left it,as I just had bought another even more expensive specimen of another species..
