After a 3-year break due to corona, the Frankfurt Insect Fair was again a great success.
I was lucky enough to be able to pick up a few more Agrias for my collection.

Hewi, those are stunning.

I know nothing of Agrias, can you share species/ssp/form and location?

They look like Prepona to me.

Predictable, but still funny as heck.

Sounds like the start of a joke "A lepidopterist walks into an Oberammergau bar with a case containing four Agrias, and the barkeep says...."

Stunning specimens hewi !

Well done

You always seem to get great stuff when you go to that fair.

I agree with Trehopr. Great stuff! Wish they had insect fairs in America (other than the occasional one in California, which is relatively small compared to the ones in Europe).

People who are not Agrias specialist may not realize how rare some on these 6 Agrias are ! Some world rarities ! Congrats Manfred ! Your collection must be amazing.
It was a pleasure to say hello to you in Frankfurt even if we had not the opportunity to chat more.

My haul in Frankfurt was good (not as good as yours though) with 2 Agrias claudina sardapalus form belsazar and one Delias hyparete gynandromorph.

Hi Olivier,
I am curious to see a picture of the Delias gynandromorph.
Would you be kind enough to share?

Sure, here it is.

A nice mosaic example.

One antenna has to be fixed.
