Outstanding !

One of the "great ones" of butterfly collector lore....

I have only run across this (once) in my search of old collections and it too was an awesome specimen (like yours) but, the asking price (at that time) was too much of a reach for me.

Well done Dave

A spectacular form of garamas. I had an opportunity to get such a specimen last year, but had to pass, due to price.

I bought this in 2009. Not cheap but such a lovely specimen I could not resist!!

Be glad you bought it when you did. Prices will only go up. My philosophy is: Get it while you can.
