Through the kind efforts of (member) 58chevy the below photograph is possible. He emailed it to me to post a couple months back and I forgot to... Very sorry 58chevy for my oversight/neglect ! The drawer features most, if not all, of the U.S. species & forms (according to 58chevy). The drawer comes from the Bordelon & Knudson collection. Enjoy !  |

There are a lot of Junonia!
I can see my favourite Junonia orithya ( blue )from SE Asia there.
2nd column 2nd specimen from the top is it Junonia coenia blue form that we were talking about few months ago ?

How did you come by that drawer. I assumed that Knudson collection went to Texas Tech. However. I also know that Vernon Brou of Louisiana was envolved the estate.
Just curious.

While living in South Florida, I visited the Florida Key's once a month or so.
Junonia evarete
Junonia genoveva
Junonia coenia
Junonia zonalis
There are several other species and or names that get regurgitated and pop back up from time to time.
I only encountered Junonia coenia on the south west coast of Florida. I never encountered any of the black or dark forms of any Junonia in Florida.
While living in Florida I visited the Florida Key's rather frequently. In 1982 I found Junonia genoveva extremely abundant. Two weeks later, it was gone. Did not reappear until 1992.

That is what I thought. During one of my conversation with Ed Knudson, he told me that his collection was going to Texas A&M. That conversation was 30+ years ago.
I was surprised when I learned that Vernon Brau was the executor.
