    Hi John Thanks for your feedback. Of course the specimens wont come with data because nothing we offer is taken from the wild. As you will know it is generally illegal now to collect from the wild in most tropical countries therefore by buying any papered specimens from us you should appreciate that they are captive bred ex pupa and will not carry collection data.

    Arrived safely today. The specimen is supposed to be female, and I think it may well be, but there is the arrowed male symbol on the paper envelope.
