After 2 years of cancellation due to Covid, Juvisy insect fair happened last week end !
I was there on Saturday morning, there were A LOT of people happy to see this great fair again. A big success despite less Russian & Japanese than on normal years.
I didn't find any Delias to add to my collection but a nice Agrias phalcidon excelsior female form.
Was good to chat with a lot of friends (even if I have missed many as I was there only few hours) and to discuss future expeditions.
And good to see some interesting specimens (Urania sloanus, Papilio homerus with Cites, Graphium iphitas female, Delias messalina...)
Some of my friends took some pictures, I will ask them if I can share them here.

I think that many Japanese weren't at Juvisy because the Tokyo Insect Fair was also held this weekend. Inayoshi-san told me that his friends went there and it was apparently very busy.
I look forward to seeing photos of specimens and sellers' tables at Juvisy.

Yeah, it was good to be back and meet up with a lot of old friends for the first time in 3 years!
I didn't find too much of any interest either nut picked up few specimens.

I agree, great to be back at a fair. I spend two days, Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Saw bobw, but missed Olivier. Many old friends though....
