I have them from Florida and Georgia,(I just don´t have now the time to check if they are from southern Georgia or to post pictures of them) and I don´t see any difference between ssp.maynardi from Florida or (southern)Georgia they are all very large and most females have a very dark yellow(more like orange)For me they are identical with Florida ssp.maynardi. Also Papilio troilus from Southern Georgia looks like the ones from Florida(except the ssp from Southern Florida) Robert

I also had about 15 years ago some "problems" at Munich airport and when customs asked me what I am bringing in from Dominican Republic I declared cigars and dried butterflies......if I would not have declared them, I would have got a fine the officer told me. They counted howmany butterflies I had and I got a document that I declared them ,but they took them away and I had to wait for about 12 days till somebody at customs has inpected them for CITES species. I don´t remember howmuch import tax I had to pay (and some antennae have been damaged....) but nowerdays it is between 8 %and 19% of the total value,depending the place you declare them....and sometimes they know exact if you give them the correct value of your insects or not....

I got this week another parcel from them, but again 1 pair Butterflies worth 100US are not in the parcel.They wrote me this before I got the parcel, that they are still in another office and that they will send them soon..... So now I am waiting for 2 x 2 butterflies replacement from the past 2 parcels.I am trying not to spend tomuch $ on each parcel, so that I don´t loose to much incase they decide one day different to send me anything. It´s up to everybody to decide if you buy from them or not. Most quality is between A1 and A1- Robert
