More on White Butterflies

[papilio28570]

I missed the last thread and it got off topic, so I started a new thread and hope it does not offend the subject originator. Anyway, on the topic, I recently had a customer requesting a white or nearly white butterfly dome. The item is here where it can be viewed from all sides:

I hope the photo comes through with this post.

I believe Morpho catenarius or luna or polyphemus are among the whitest of the white. Ascia buniae is a fairly large Pieriidae (to 8 cm) that is nearly all white.

Papilio dardanus is a pretty swallowtail that is more of an eggshell white, but is among my favorites.

They are really pretty. I'm flattered that my topic was interesting enough to spawn a second thread!
