Hi "agriaslover" I can remember holding a male golden euphorion specimen in my hand in 1996 it was priced at £2000 I can only imagine what it must be worth now. To have one would be an achievement. To have two pairs, words fail me. ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Richard

![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Wow Manfred I am almost speechless. Your Ornithoptera hybrids collection is simply superb. I adore them all, but especially love the tithonus x priamus hybrid and the akakeae. Must have cost you a lot of money to get all of those. Your aesacus variety is a beauty. Thank you for sharing. Peter.
