Butterflies on Ebay!
Posted: Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:18 pm
Hey all,
Has anyone noticed the amount of British butterflies being sold on Ebay lately? They seem to be from old collections, but all the same there seems to be a healthy interest judging from the ones that I have 'watched'.
A Large Blue has been listed tonight, it claims to be an old specimen from Cambridge... ...did the Large Blue ever exist in that county?
Besides, don't you need a license or something to sell Large Blues??
Cheers,
Felix.
Ps: Hello, I'm new to the site - I have been keenly interested in the topics and discussions on the UK Butterflies site for a long while now and I have finally decided to take the plunge! It's an odd feeling - like being invited to join a bunch of regulars in a pub in a new town...
