Ok I am back from the fair as I barely ever visit it on Sunday. It has been a great event like every year and it was nice to see so many people back in person and have a chat with them. I took just a few pictures of the fair as my time there is like always very limited. Frankfurt is a real challenge if you are alone and want to sell things, find the best deals, and meet new and old friends. I bought well over a hundred Lycaenidae for my collection, I will later show some specimen in a separate thread.

First of all I found this mislabelled specimen quite amusing. It shows that the inexperienced collector always has to be on the lookout. Kallima jacksoni is much larger than these Precis/Junonia and will most likely be more expensive than 20€.

Here is a view of the great hall, one of 4 rooms (+1 kids room) that the fair is held at.

As there have been so many pictures of butterflies from the insect fairs recently I took a picture of a box with Orthoptera for a change.

The following breed Parnassius are always stunning, every year the breeder manages to enlarge the red area even more.

I found these Morpho very interesting, is this the regular colorform of these females? I don't know and would like to know.

Table of Robert Westphal, many interesting specimen and species there, I got a Lycaenidae from China that I might show later.

Lastly I didn't really see any Delias (I always had to rush through the hall) but I took this picture of Ornithoptera for you Peter.

Hi Claude. Thank you for sharing your images, Frankfurt looks a great fair, I wish I could have attended, hopefully next year, I will have to start saving and not spend all my money at Juvisy. You bought a impressive lot of Lycaenidae and I look forward to seeing those.

Funnily enough I spotted myself immediately before the shot of Bernie and Thierry talking, and Sergei Churkin immediately after.
