Dear all,
In order to perform some rather detailed scientific analysis, I quite urgently need one, or two fresh (less than one month old) wild caught, male Apatura iris specimen(s). Ideally the specimen(s) in question would still have wings which are in a reasonable condition, however I will also accept males as long as they still have some of their peripheral wing edges in tact. To clarify, I am only interested in wild caught specimens, as captive reared specimens are unfortunately of no use to me. As you can ascertain from this request, it is the freshness (less than one month old) and the source (wild, not captive) of the specimen, rather than the A1 grading which is of primary importance. Can anyone, or does anyone perhaps know of anybody who might please be able to help out with this request? If Apatura iris proves too difficult, other members of the Apaturinae may also be considered as alternatives, although iris specimens really would be preferable. Any information in relation to this request that anyone might please be able to provide would be very much appreciated.
Kindest regards.
