Even at the present bid of 8800 Yen (US$ 106) that male Delias eileenae is no bargain...
and US$ 72 for a male Delias ellipsis is just too high...as is US$ 34 for a male Delias lemoulti...
I don't think I will be doing anything there

it seems that it may be more interesting to sale than to buy on this site for many things ! ... despite I have seen some things unavailable elsewhere.

Barry > Yes bidders.co.jp is expensive ... but the price for Delias ellipsis is interesting, as ellipsis is nearly never on the market nowadays.
Thierry < Prices are expensive on bidders.co.jp but yes there are sometimes some almost never offered lep. I just bought a female Delias walshae there, never seen one for sale in the West in the last 5 years...

@olivier... They may have gone high again because of the screws tightening in New caledonia, but I have never paid more than 30 euros for a male D ellipsis...

In fact, ellipsis have no more "market" price today as nobody offers some frequently.
In the past, M. Renevier raised them and we found few ex-pupae specimens on the market.
He does not raise them anymore as far as I know and there is no more butterfly dealers/exchangers in New Caledonia as far as I know too.
Thus the few specimens we found on the market are not freshly collected.
The law tightening in NC does not concern Delias species ... for the moment ... :
as NC is more and more independant, we can fear that their environmental laws become harder for insect collecting than the French laws.
In NC you can build a nickel mine on a virgin forest but you cannot collect P. montrouzieri : it is a modern country...

wollastoni... 5000 Yen is a very good price Olivier, but I'm sure that it will rise... 5000 Yen = 43 euro = 61 US$ Thank you for pointing that one out to me. I don't need it as I already have 2 males and a female of D subviridis Barry

Simon Boo  Unfortunately you were probably onto a loser from the start if you were bidding against some crazy Japanese collector! Simon I did not win this auction That Parnassius was top rare and one Japanese was decided to get it in any case, so I had no chance  Radovan |

Yeap Japanese are hard to beat at insect bidding !
But sometimes they miss some good stuff on their auction websites.
I have seen one unidentified Udara cybele going for 2€ before I had an account, I became totally crazy...
