Re: Does anyone have a bigger one? I mean an agrippina

They are not captive bred, but on several occasions massive cocoons were collected so a mumber of them was available ex pupa. Also depending on luck they probably hatch in clusters so one is able to attract om light a good quantity of freshly hatched specimens

Re: Corsican Swallowtail (Papilio hospiton)

EU has a different CITES system. Hospiton is in CITES A, which is the same treatment as CITES I.

Re: old specimen Armandia lidderdaleii

Cant sell it within EU without proper paper work either. And since I assume there is no label, it is impossible to verify the age of the specimen thus impossible to obtain rhe papers and legalize it.

Re: Who has "all" the Papilionid?

Also taxonomy changes quickly...some ssp. are elevated, some species are degraded, some species are split into several taxa...also different author, different oppinion. I think it is just impossible to keep up with all the changes and keep the collection of worldwide Papilionidae updated
