It seems these are more "available" lately. But I predict it's just temporary and will return to being an obscure species impossible to get

glad I got my pair when I did, I think all species from New Caledonia will be hard to get in future, montrouzieri, amynthor and the like.

All the Hypolimnas with the orange hindwing band are nice, Hypolimnas pandarus is stunning too.

Years ago there were two or three Hypolimnas species that were difficult to obtain, now it's one of the few genera that has become more available rather than less.

Japanese have now a permanent contact on Taliabu. That's why dimona is now offered.
With impressive recent Delias discoveries (D. kazueae, D. yagishi'tai, D. apatela taliabu), a local butterfly business is now sustainable.
dunc <very true, NC bans the trade of more and more species...

Saundersii was for sale a few weeks ago from a guy in England on ebay without antenna but apart from that I have never seen it offered, dimona is still too expensive for me.

Sold 3 of them in January at 100 € each... not so expensive.
