And to compliment my previous postings,a beautiful pair of acraeoides

Gosh Anna, you sure have some great connections !
The females of all 3 of these "stellar" species which you own are very seldom offered --- anywhere.

They are also exceptionally clean examples. Males of all three are still mighty special but, can be had more often and for considerably less pricing.

I haven't seen an acraeoides (male) even offered for some years. Here and there I have seen males of the other two species offered most recently.....

I suppose at Juvisy you can find them all but, it's a matter of getting there and being able to return home with your prizes.

Well Trehopr1, Acraeoides females are like hens teeth, males still hard to get, male is Rca. female is from Gabon, as are Fournierae pair.
My Lydiae are from Cameroun and the Jolybouyeri male is Cote d'ivoire.
I think females are roughly 5 times price of males on average ,this obviously doesn't apply to jolybouyeri or acraeoides.
My next post is my slightly worn Jolybouyeri male ,
Now they are hard to find.

....

jolybouyeri has not been caught in Cote d'Ivoire, wrong label, it is probably from Guinea.

The species have been cited from there but it is a fake due to a dishonnest french collector.
