I will ask the guy who organizes it and let you know.
I would bet on September 23/24 but let's check.
I won't be able to attend it this year as I should be in New Guinea in end September.

If you find a flight to French Guadeloupe or French Martinique, then you can easily join Cayenne by plane from there.

Re: Where can I go?

Re: The Collapse of Insects
Interesting post. I guess we all agree that very few species have disappeared and will disappear. This said, the biodiversity is collapsing in most part of the world. Take Borneo : very few Bornean species have disappeared, but their distribution went from 90% of the island to 10% in less than 50 ye...

Re: Agrias butterflies
It seems many members are mixing the concept of genus with the concept of species.
Take Aglais io. You can call it Inachis io too. It is the same species and both name are « valid ».

Re: Nice ID guide to many South American Saturnid (and other)
Alex Cahurel lives one hour from my house in Brittany (France).
He is a famous entomological equipment supplier in France.
He has made dozens of travel to S. America (especially F. Guiana) and has thus a strong knowledge in neotropical insects.

Re: The Collapse of Insects
The mass of butterflies has also collapsed in French Guiana, one of the most preserved parts of Amazonia. Not the pesticide there, doubtful about a new parasite in FG too... My local friends in FG have a theory : with global warming and/or massive deforestation in Brazil, the season rhytm in FG has ...

Re: Corsican Swallowtail (Papilio hospiton)
