Jean-Marc, thank you for posting these very interesting images. I shall certainly get the book  . Sounds like a very good read. It must have been great to see the Henk Van Mstright collection and meet the great collector and Delias expert in person. Wollastoni can you show the Delias pulla images? Delias cumanau is a wonderful Delias, very different. |

If I start saving now, I should be able to buy the D. cumanau within the next hundred years.

Thanks JM.
I was indeed exausted, but those who have done the treck from Wamerek to Hilolo (upon Tangma) knows how tough it is... especially when you run after Delias.
Not many Delias found that day, I found only Delias ladas wamenaensis and Delias germana germana in Wamerek, but I found a rare Praetaxila huntei (Riodinidae) there.
In Hilolo the day after, I found Delias ligata, Delias zebra, Delias argentata and Delias pheres... I remember a young Papuan kid helped me detect Delias in the forest.

Glad to learn in the last Sugapa journal that the female of the rare Delias neeltje has been discovered in July 2013 by the son of Mike Wild in Mokndoma, Puncak Jaya, 2180m, West Papua !

Nice pair of Delias woodi woodi [ Talbot 1928 ] from Mindanao bought at the recent AES fair.  |
