It's interesting how often those pathological aberrations seem to crop up in some species (Maniola jurtina for example) but not in others. I wonder what causes them to be more susceptible? I have pathological aberrations of Apatura iris and Limenitis camilla, but they're very much the exception. I think amongst the lycaenids I only have a pathological aberration for Polyommatus icarus.

What price Clive's specimens then at those prices!

I agree and just wonder if Worldwide Butterflies had that Dale albino L. phlaeas specimen, they would do some very serious damage to a collectors wallet who wanted to obtain it.

These specimens have been on offer at those prices for some time now. I guess the market will ultimately correct itself - I am assuming that nobody is going to rise to bite at those speculative prices, and ultimately Robert will re-price accordingly. That is, unless some people *are* buying a specimen or two at that price - in which case, it justifies the decision to pitch them so high.
Too rich for my taste, anyway!

I think these prices are just way too high for this kind of aberration, even if they were collected or bred by famous British collectors. It is good to see Robert Goodden is still at the helm of this long lasting insect supplier.

They have an albino on page three for £120, repaired but when compared to some of the others that's quite cheap, obviously not been in enough famous collections..
