The supposed collector, a Mr. Gardiner whose details are on the data label, has written to the ELG to explain that this was never one of his specimens and, what's more, this isn't even a British swallowtail, but the common american Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) - see http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=1356. I hope the buyer gets their £255 worth

On a related note, I'm writing an article on the "Butterflies and the Internet" for the European Interest Group (EIG) of Butterfly Conservation, focusing on the good and bad of the Internet. Any thoughts you might have would be appreciated (please reply to this thread).
Cheers,
