Re: Pieris Cheiranthi
I had some pupae a few years back from which I only got a handful of adults sadly. It is a really lovely species & also sadly in a lot of trouble in the wild due to habitat loss I hear/read

Re: Pieris cheiranthi
I think the similarities lie in the fact that we don't 'specialise", we buy what we fancy. The only real area that I keep to a system with is British lepidoptera, my collection is split into 2 parts with that, historic and self caught, as for exotics and other stuff I just go with the flow, always have.
If something is rare/beautiful/interesting/unusual and I can afford it then I buy it.

Re: Pieris cheiranthi
That sums it up very well Dunc !! Could not have put it better.
Re: Pieris cheiranthi
I have known Dunc a long time & we often bump into each other at entomological shows etc. We certainly have similar tastes !!
