Dear friends,
I know it is very early but has the Juvisy insect fair date been scheduled yet for late September, 2023? I realize that it is usually the last weekend of the month. So, would it be the weekend of 23-24, September or possibly the following weekend of 30 September- 1 October? For those of us coming from overseas much advanced planning is necessary. Thank you for your help. Sincerely,
morphonut.

You will find the date of all insect fairs, including Juvisy, here : Insect fair list & calendar

still no news about Juvisy 2023 dates ?

It's not usually announced until about April/May, but I'm basing my plans on 23rd-24th September.

Doubt I will attend myself Bob but I am curious to know the position on bringing back specimens from France to the U.K. since Brexit. Have things changed?

I always drive and I've never had a problem. I don't think there are any restrictions except for CITES listed species.

Be careful, the organizer just told me it should be on September 30th/October 1st.

Hi , Any further information regarding the Juvisy dates ?

Hi all, seems to be confirmed now for 30/Sep and 01/Oct. Christof

Yes it is confirmed on 30 Sept, 1 Oct.

That'a a disaster for me! Every time before that the Sunday would have been 1st October, it's moved forward a week to 23rd/24th September, so I based my schedule on that. I've now booked a holiday to Spain starting 30th September. This will be the first year I've not been to Juvisy (barring Covid) for about 25 years.

Sorry to drag up a slightly old topic, but can anyone tell me if the Juvisy fair will have any wholesale suppliers?

I'm considering making the trip from Australia and wondering if it's more of a fair for private collectors or if there will be an opportunity to meet suppliers at a wholesale level as well

There is no wholesale suppliers there, it is a fair with high-quality / rare specimens for collectors.

This said, you will meet the main European sellers and will be able to discuss with them.

Ok awesome! I will re-adjust my expectations for it then

Is it worth bringing rare specimens to trade with other collectors or is this not something that is done?

There is no official "exchange" area in the fair, but some collectors of course use this opportunity to exchange specimens with others. It is not often that you have 1,000 entomologists from all over the world in the same place !

About wholesale, you should advertise in the Insect Supplier page. Having a website registered there, I often receive proposals from wholesalers. It would also boost your awareness and sales.

Anybody here knows which seller has Parides coelus specimens this year in Paris ?

You mean Parides vercingetorix Oberthür, 1888, as coelus Boisduval, 1836 is a junior homonym.

Adam.

PS. Sorry I can't answer your question directly.
