ABOUT COLLECTORS QUALITY CODE 
A1 As perfect as all reasonable expectations dictate. Many are ex-pupae bred. 
A1/A1- Virtually perfect and fresh. A minor flaw or so. Sometimes only antennae damage. 
Excellent quality at significant savings. 
A1- Flaws, but generally very respectable. 
VGA2 Very good second quality. Usually easily repairable. Sometimes accompanied by spare parts. 
A2 Definite second quality. Usually a good representative specimen but far from perfect.
Unless it is an exceptionally rare species, I never buy, sell or trade A2 grades...

This is a beautiful Alcides agathyrus male . This specimen has astounding color & detail.  
No photo can ever truly show the beauty of a butterfly or moth. 
Comes with the scientific name and collection data. 
This specimen is professionally papered, ready for you to mount.
These moths are not only day flying but they also resemble butterflies in that they are brightly colored and their colors will not fade in sunlight (in fact, some  butterflies imitate these day-flying moths for protection, or perhaps it is vice-versa).

This one is A1/A- quality some minor spots meets most reasonable expectations as A-1, but I consider it just a tad under A1...so we call it A1/A- Still makes a beautiful addition to any collection. I have seven of these and am also open to trade - got something to trade?
