Hey, Andreas! You're looking for suppliers in Malaysia, eh? Well, well, well... I can help you with that. So far, I haven't found any in Penang or Langkawi. However, there is one in Kuala Lumpur. Its situated in an area called Batu Caves near to Gombak. They've been in business since 1976 and their inventory is quite impressive. Lots of Malaysian species as well as some from around the world.

And why not Delias baracasa, D. eumolpe, D. henningia pandemia, D. pasithoe augustifascia, and so on ? The sp. already in your boxes ? Anyway, I'll do all my best to bring back all these Delias !! I'll stay mainly in a lowlands primary forest area which is not so good for Delias (except D. hyparete). But, I'll spend some days in mountaneous area where most of these Pieridae use to fly. And, last but not least, I'll go there through an house exchange between Paris and Sabah ! So, the journey will not be expensive (as I told you recently, I'm very short ...).
