Hello Anna,

Thank you so much for kindly posting photo's of some
of your holdings. The 3rd photo amongst your M. hecuba
pic's is absolutely a spectacular specimen !

The females of theseus yaritanus and amphitrion attali
are also especially nice. I can appreciate those brown
morpho's because its not easy finding reasonably "clean"
ones as most or all are wild caught.

I will have to show you some of mine. I'm "all over the board"
in my interest in these so, hope you don't mind.

Gotta love da Morphos. Wish my female M. cyprus “cyanites” had her abdomen . I have not bought a Morpho in years, but sure love viewing the 2’x2’ drawer of them.

Hello again Anna,
As promised I'm posting a few of my hard won treasures.
Wow, they sure are dazzling Bill altogather in one "big"
drawer !
So, here's a few with more to come....


M. rhetenor helena


M. cytheris ---was portis or thamyris in past ?


M. phanodemus (top)(male)
M. rhetenor cacica (bottom)


M. peleides marineta
M. absoloni


M. theseus fruhstoferi (Mera,Ecuador) A1 - tough to get like this !


M. polyphemus (pair)


M. menalaus (female)


M. godarti (Yungas,Bolivia)

[Trehopr1]

A few more individuals....


M. marcus (female)


M. deidamia (male) *one of my favorite banded species !


M. electara (female)(Bolivia) *my largest banded specimen !


Comparison of size photo of both previous specimens.


M. theseus penelope *one of the few brown species I own.

[Trehopr1]

Always a real crowd pleaser....


M. hecuba obidonius (Brazil)

Finally, one of five drawers that I have as my
holdings are modest.....



Still looking for a few select ones but, I'm pleased
with what I have managed thus far.

It's a tough market out there as many species are
still wing-captured or baited. There seems to be
a lot of "arm wrestling" over the lesser seen species !

Prices on some can be frightful for seldom occurring
or for especially "clean" A1 specimens.

In the drawer with cisseis males last photo, is the one on left a cabrera or a gahua?
