Cheers John, i'm going to stop looking at this forum on a saturday morning, when i see specimens like this it really sets me up for a long miserable weekend, i'm sure that all of our envious comments are pure delight to you, and so they should be, quite Magnificent collection (which i think i may have already said on more than one occasion) but keep them coming, i could quite easily spend hours and hours looking at other peoples specimens but especially yours (no disrespect to any of the other collectors, but i'm sure you'll all agree).
I am glad to share my collection photos with you and others, afterall thats what this forum section is for. I have been at this now for almost 25 years, but only figured out the photo, computer angle last year, with a lot of help from fellow collectors, who with subtle hints, made me more tech saavy. Same with mounting, lots of trial and error,but the more specimens one sets, the better one becomes. Unfortunately, one aspect of this hobby, many others...if you are rich, you can easily get a perfect, massive collection fast, sadly , I am in the "other boat" so it took long years, hard work to get my modest collection. I heard, one collection in Japan, housed in 12,000 drawers! Most be nice!

John, if you are available to pay 4500 US$ for (I quote you) "parides klagesi M+F, graphium levassori M+F, papilio cacicus cacicus FEMALE form zaddachi....flawless example", I am wondering what kind of "other boat" you sail.
