Greetings, anyone have Papilio astyalus bajaensis females in your collection? If you could post some pics that would be awesome. I have been trying for several years to acquire a nice A1 specimen and no luck. I think they are very beautiful species. Thank You  |

Picture for hellanichus. The 4 females astyalus bajaensis I have in my collection. You are right when you say that these females are not easy to get. They are really scarce. I have all the other mexican papilionidae ssp in my collection, so for any question, please feel free to contact me to my email: drjaume@yahoo.es JAUME Attachments:

Hello,
What is nice in this ssp is that all the females are different. Similar but different. Let's say that the commonest form is the top one on the left. I had in the past other 3 specimens and they were all very similar to this I mention. Of the other 3 in the picture, these are the only ones of this form I have ever seen.

Jaume, thanks again for the additional information. I really love these as they are quite colorful with a beautiful pattern. |

Very nice specimens, even the males of this species are fairly difficult to come by. Thanks
