I'm not a Delias collector "Honest" but i've bought a few over the years to set out and take to the shows, i was always getting asked for species like Delias, Charaxes and Agrias and when ever i placed an order with a supplier i always added a few to help fund my Papilio collection when i sold them off at these shows, i thought a drawer of them would look good so i kept these back for myself. I still have about 100 or so that i'll get around to setting some day, common stuff though but they are a very nice species, and don't take up all the room the papilio collection does. Rich  |
