the swallow tail species are cool , some of my favorites

Very nice collection, I used to collect insects as well.

I have some of these as well - have some swallowtails that i have had for 30 years.

very cool. my dad and i collected when i was a kid. got some huge cecropias off the ferries at manatoulin island and we still have a couple

Beautiful collection Justin. Do you still collect them? Did you actually catch all these?

WOW Dan cecropias? really i am soo jeltious! what i cought was jus around my dads land i had a couple hundred acres but 70% of it was agricultural.

BIP i actually did catch all of these. My dad got me into it when i was a child and i jus loved it...i did more than glass showcases. i had spiders and lil scenes set up in beta fish tanks. but no i dont do it anymore i still have all the supplies though. summers coming up though!! :) thanks everyone!

That is so cool Justin. I wasn't sure how this worked, never collected them. I didn't know if there was a butterfly shop (lol) that you go to or trade with other collectors. I could only say I've seen monaarchs and the white ones (not sure what those are). I haven't seen a great variety. Seeing all these beauties, I feel gyped, lol.

well the white ones are sulfers and they are from europe. thats why they are everywhere.
and crystal and james i would like to see some pictures if you still have some. :) Thanks everyone!
