nope, seems not. But I wanted to go for many years already. In any case let us know how it was, please!

Been to Madeira once before, it really depends what you pretend to collect there, but I don't think you will have much luck with Leps that late in the year.

Yes, I think so also. So it would be important to know some good places.

I've been to Madeira 3 years ago in october ! Most of the island is protected area (the center of the island ) and there are policia forestal ! Note that a big part of the forested area burnt (4 years ago and also a big fire this year, Pico Arriero area), set up by a pyroman !!!!!
I found in october P. xiphia, H. maderensis (very worn), D. plexippus, Lycaena phlaeas phlaeoides, L. pirithous. I think in december not much is flying arround , except for the endemic P. xiphia ! Expect also a lot of rain during these months !!!!!
If you want more info , sent me a message !
Good luck !

Also, be aware that there's a dengue epidemic going on in there.
I suffered from dengue in Argentina 2 years ago, trust me, you don't want to pass trough the same experience :- )
