Some recent old specimens of our only native member of papilionidae, always special to me and becoming hard to obtain now.  |

Well all I can say Mike is that you will have to be in a very generous mood for me to be able to afford said "surprise" or I will, reluctantly , have to walk away!

My guess is a Papilio ( Chilasa) ?

Yes, Paul and it's ssp. moerneri from New Ireland. Ssp. mayrhoferi from New Britain has more orange in the submarginal spots and is even harder to obtain.
