just to complete my previous message, a photo to compare the two forms, the nominal P.imperialis (Druce)on the above; and the other one, the ssp P.i.dealbata (Holloway), which is native to New Caledonia. They are really different. I'm impatient to see the larva of ssp dealbata. I've seen some grey/pinkish larvas forms from Australia, very nice !. I hope they are similar. Thierry

In which part of Australia are you Adam ?. Thierry Confused here, as I have never been to Australia in my life. I live in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Are you muddling my discussion of Papilio memnon with yours? Adam.

I am uncertain about the top specimen on each board as they are different from the others on each board, I'll have better photos and more idea when they are off the boards but I think these could be a different species/sub species or maybe hybrids??

I use that too
I look for a specific kind though because they are not all the same plastic and handle different . It's acetate sheet protectors I use and cut the strips as I need them. Thick and firm enough to help me open the wings and still let pins through easily
