Magnificent Parides collection Jaume, this family is by far my favorite family, even above the mighty Ornithoptera in my opinion. Parides Gundalachianus tops the lot. Rich  |

Fantastic specimens, Parides are my favorite too, childrenae, a. bolivar and orellana are my three top species. I've got a pair of ascanius that were from Meek. He carried out a venation study on the female and its right wing is completely devoid of scales. A shame and good at the same time.
Rich, I think we've chatted at a couple of insect fairs a few years ago, you told me about your trip to Cuba at the time. If you ever come down to London you should come over.

Hi johnny, yes i went to cuba 15 years ago now (wow times gone quick) that's probably the reason i like Gundalachianus as it's the only Parides i've had the pleasure to see in the wild.
I don't really get much time to get to the shows lately but i hope to be at the Newark show in May. Drop me a line if you go to that one.
