Could you be prosecuted for buying one? Jessica Speart's book "Winged Obsession: The Pursuit of the World's Most Notorious Butterfly Smuggler" talks of American F&W wanting to know to whom Kojima sold CITIES,appendix I species to ( Kojima never told them) and spoke of them pursuing this avenue of investigation. Yes, if you are an American and knowingly purchased one of these P. chikae from him, you can be prosecuted. It's what this department does....it's their job. |

Web site indicates he sold 13 so far which makes at least 13 people in trouble. Could it possibly be that he is working with USF&W to snare people attempting to buy a CITES 1 species? Doesn't intent to purchase carry stiff penalties?

For few dollars, this guy undermines the whole community... One day, such bad practice will be in the media and ebay or the law will forbid the whole insect trade...
We should all boycott him...

He isn't with the USFW...I purchased P. zagreus from him and he hasn't sold any illegal species up until now...
