A rare addition to my collection. A female Delias taliabu, described in 2009 only.
More info about that species : https://www.delias-butterflies.com/spec ... as-taliabu
Its discovery was a great surprise.

Re: Rare Delias butterflies
After years of searching it, my first Delias luctuosa magoda !
From Magoda, Weyland Mounts, Papua, 2100m, March 1996
One of the hardest ssp to find for luctuosa. What a beautiful species!
