I have not known of this species. It looks similar to Graphium androcles which also hails from Sulawesi yet, lacking the greenish color at the base of the wings and the additional white markings near the apex of the forewings. Are the tails equally as long as those of G. androcles ? I think Adam ex...

Male from Sulawesi shown upper & underside. I don't have a female

A pair from Mount Gede in West Java shown upperside & underside

Got these on the board not too long ago. 3 old pairs from Northern Europe. I’ve also got several Anthocharis bambusarum from Nanjing China I am waiting on mounting. Those specimens are absolutely gorgeous with the forewing being all orange and the hind wing being much more defined than the typical ...

Nice idea for a thread. Some photos of my last winters setting/spreading. A pair of Hebomoia glaucippe formosana from Taiwan & a male Stichophthalma fruhstorferi from Viet-Nam. I took pictures of them only partially set/spread

I don't consider that spring has begun until I see my first orange tip of the year. However, this year, for the first time ever, I've not seen a single one in south-east England! Other people have also told me that they're massively down in numbers this year, maybe the very hot summer last year cau...

I encountered this species in New Mexico back in 2016 Trehopr. From memory it wasn't that common there & I only saw a couple of individuals. A very colourful little butterfly.

Interesting that you don't have any Anthocharis in your part of IllinoisTrehopr. Here in the U.K. A cardamines is widespread & fairly common. Both it's food plants grow in abundance in my part of North Wales & the butterfly itself is often abundant between mid April & mid May here still....

Three self collected males from this year. First specimen has slight scale defect in left forewing. Second & third pictures are upperside & underside of typical male & an abb minor male which also has unusually dark underside. I also collected a pair of this species from Scotland. The fi...

VERY nice find's Dave. I've always liked this species. I have 3 or 4 of the typical ones but, no aberrations. This is the first abberation I can remember seeing offered Trehopr. I am currently rearing caterpillars of this species. It is a real favourite of mine. Sadly there are none in my locality....

The Marbled White.
Two recent acquisitions.
Top is a typical male from Hampshire, England.
Bottom is a male abberation valentini from the South Downs, Sussex England captured in July 1986.
Wild caught abberations of this species are rare.

Alas, my final specimen of (4) from DaveUK is now posted below. A diffrent and (singular) location. It is likely the same species as my above specimen from HUE yet, it has a wide bluish-purple sheen along the outer margins of the hindwings. This is not present at all in the specimen from Hue. Both ...

Two of my males of this unusually coloured subspecies from Alor, Indonesia shown upper & underside.

I visited Da Nang in 2008 Trehopr. From there I went inland to Hoi An & some mountains nearby. I was very impressed with the variety of butterflies I saw in that part of the world. Sadly I did not see any Stichophthalma & have yet to see any species of this genus on the wing. Poignant that y...

Having recently completed my "setting work" on my papered Stichopthalma acquisitions I was for a lack of drawers to place them in. So, until such time as I am able to buy new drawers I have housed my specimens in 3 snap-tight (locking lid) tupperware containers. Here is how each container...

In life the moths have a wonderful twig like appearance

For a few years now the brightly coloured caterpillars of this species have attacked the Buddleia davidii shrubs in my garden. They are easily seen during the daytime as they feed & bask on the leaves protected no doubt by their warning colouration. I collected some last year, fed them on Buddle...

A pair from Ethiopia along with preserved pupae & parasitic flies that attack the larvae of this species.
These specimens were all photographed for the old forum but have since come into my possession.
Believe this to be a rare or rarely collected species.

Thank you kindly Dave. Indeed, my purchase has turned out to be a real bargain after the finding of this (male) S. godfreyi. I love them all and now I think I have a decent showing of them. I feel I owe you a depth of gratitude Dave because of your passionate interest in these butterflies and (your...
