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 πŸ‘πŸ‘

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

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