Dear friends,
I open this topic to help a friend (unfortunately it´s not me who is going to visit that country). He asked me to gather some information and although I have been able to help him with the administrative part of the trip, I´m finding difficult to get some good collecting spots and such things as there are very few reports avaliable on the net. I wanted to know if any of you have ever been there or if you know someone that could help me with this task. Any help or experiences you want to share will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Alejandro A.

Nobody can give any hints?
I figured that with so much interest on some Papilio from there (P.morondavana, P.grossesmithi,...) someone could help. I know the situation in the country is complicated now, as well as more difficult to collect there tahn in the past, but if anyone has experience there, even if it was 20 year ago, I would be extremely pleased to listen to them.
Regards,
Alejandro A.

Wow...guess no one has collected there! I thought the island was like 95 % defoliated from human population spread and wasteful use of natural resources. Here is a web site with extensive aerial pictures of the island. Very depressing indeed. www.mongabay.com/mad_deforestation.htm
