I don't remember the exact URL but it was a site in Indonesia of a guy selling hybrids of ornithoptera including aberrant forms. He was apparently breeding these himself. The problem was that some pictures were actually picked from other websites (cf nagypal) and a water mark from this guy was added on top of it. Anyone else remember that?

Sounds a great book, a little out of my price range though, for a book, that's money I can buy specimens with. I'm a little intrigued by the 27 subspecies when priamus has 20+ subspecies alone, nagypal list 70+ subspecies in total, not including s.sp no name.

I checked the link soon after Olivier posted it and couldn't see the book listed, maybe they were all ("Few copies") sold very quickly.

And there is no second market for recent books with a large initial production. Several copies have been sold in the InsectNet Marketplace in the last 3 days, but there are still some for sale : marketplace.insectnet.com/entomological-book/?sort=12
