Fantastic, can we see the underside please. The type in NHM has 3 large distinctive orange spots on the hindwing underside.
I would think that this species will only occur in a single season each year; maybe it is a lower altitude species, and harder to find in the mountains.

Thanks, good to see that the type isn't an aberration.

I don't know how you do it laurie, I've already said this on another of your threads but to find rare species and sub species is hard enough, to find them in this condition is remarkable, very well done, I can imagine that if your rarer specimens are this good, what's the common stuff like!!!

Laurie is one of the fussiest collectors out there, not only must specimens be A1++ but they must have all 6 legs as well.

Well if he's got any 5,4 or even 3 legged graphium codrus from New Britain or New Ireland I would gladly add them to my collection. I can obviously understand wanting the best specimens for any collection, but with such hard to get species I would be glad of anything.
