from an old collection

Hello,


I actually bought the butterfly by mistake, I bid 1 Eur and it came with the other shipment. However, Adam recognized the label and whose collection the butterfly came from, however it was sold.

Unfortunately I couldn't find the entry, so Adam, do you remember?

The specimen is a male of Papilio alcmenor alcmenor
The label says
Doi Phu Kha
Pua District
Nan Thailand
The handwritten date 20 Nov 1988 looks like the writing of my late friend Prasobsuk Sukkit.

I checked the Insectnet archive and found it by searching for both words 'alcmenor' and 'Sukkit'!

Scroll down to the 7th post on the page.

It really is great that we still have the Insectnet archive available to access. It is FULL of information.

I am still sad that both the older and more recent versions of Clark's old pre-Proboards Insectnet are no longer available. Those also had loads of important information and photos.

Adam.

Yes, I never understood why Clark let them disappear...

I don't think of him as a cat guy. And his son lives very close by and based on the last time I talked with Leroy, is a little too intrusive in his life.
