Le Moult collecting advice

[wollastoni]

For those who understand French, on this link you can find Le Moult's explanations on how to collect rare insects and package them. He wrote those explanations for his local collectors all over the world and especially in French Guiana.

Yeap it was another time : Le Moult advices his collectors to use leopard faeces to bait butterflies...

Try to find leopard faeces nowadays...

Sure, nowadays it's not so easy to find leopoard dungs on forest trails. And, sadly, they do not sell that kind pf product in entomological shops. That's why I always go collecting Charaxes or Agrias with the cat we have as a pet at home. See the attached photo.
