Do not make any deal with them,
Zavala who works there is a scammer
I ordered from him 300 dollars butterflies and he never sent it to me.Nevertheless I have been able to recover a good part of my order thanks to a friend who met him directly in Peru. I tried to ask the guy a second time if he had some particular Adelpha from Peru. He told me he had hundreds of specimens of species that are exceedingly rare !!! And the pictures where directly taken from the web !
The only way you could do some business with him is meeting him directly in Perou and pay him when you have the butterflies in your hand.
I hope this will help you.

This dealer has had several complaints over the years. If he changes, that would be great BUT he is not trusted.

Thanks for the info guys. I read some reports from around 2012-2014 about him, I'm not sure if he is a scammer or just not good at running his business but I guess I'll just stay away, just in case...Cheers.

I found this guy to be rather suspicious. As mentioned earlier in this series of replies, as a seller on eBay, he indicated he is from Helena, Montana. At the time I won some auctions from him, I actually lived in Helena, Montana, so to save on postage I asked if I could drop by and pick up the items I'd won. Suddenly he had all kinds of excuses why they had to be shipped from out of country, that he currently wasn't in the U.S. but his sister lives in Helena, blah, blah, blah. I ended up cancelling my order with him.

I would rather worry about someone having in his/her inventory all the rare species I am actually looking for... THIS is a red flag ⛔️ |

Well said, ornithorchid. The issue here is reliability as a supplier, not ability to speak correct english.
The writer of the post you refer to oftentimes makes gross spelling/grammar mistakes, and he speaks english! What's his excuse?

Of course I have not paid the Adelpha in advance when he proposes me 50 specimens of very rare species(I mean 50 specimens by species !) ! with pictures from the web !
On the other hand I should say that if you MEET him PERSONNALY he could be a very good provider of butterflies.
Other type of scammer is the one who propose species from a country where they does not exist !

Poor communication in a language causes much confusion. This is why the post was written tongue in cheek. I understood the meaning.
