Hi Adam,
only "Yaeyama Is. 06.09.2010", it should be P. bianor okinawensis but I think it is an ex ovo reared in Europe.

Yes, it is a nice summer form okinawensis Fruhstorfer, 1898 (= junia Jordan 1909). It may have been bred in Europe, but a large number of these were actually bred in Japan and exported as papered specimens.
Adam.

Hi all. What do you do if you have a rip on the edge, and what about if in the middle? Glue the edges of the rip? Thanx Wow!!! Good Job. Did you use the recommended glue form W & D  |

yes I used that "Wing repair cement" from W & D and I can recommend it highly. Before that I tried the insect repairing glue from Fiebig-lehrmittel with bad results for wings.

Last summer I found a female Buckeye (Junonia coenia) on the side of a road. She was badly damaged, and was missing the head and antennae. One thing that caught my eye was that the eye patches,(ocelli) were of great size, so I decided to challenge myself and attempt to repair her. I had several salvaged specimens I could use for the task, and thus match one up to the subject at hand. I also use elmers glue with a 50% mix of alcohol the way Bill Garthe does. Here are some before and after pics. She is not perfect by any means, but in-argueably a better specimen in the end.   |
