Opening orders for Butterflies of Thailand 2nd Edition

[Commander]

I have been in communications with Pisuth Ek-Amnuay, and will be ordering his 2nd edition from him when it is launched soon. (Probably in Feb or Mar)

Please add your name to the list if you are keen. I am not sure of the actual price yet, as he is yet to announce it, but from the earlier order that we got for the 1st edition, it was S$88 for the book, plus postage and packing.

So I would expect it to be around that price, if not slightly more.

Here's a teaser of how the book looks like.

Just as a matter of interest, the two top butterflies on the cover of the book are very rare swallowtails which are protected by CITES. The left one is called the Bhutan Glory (Bhutanitis lidderdalii) and the right one is called the Kaiser (Teinopalpus imperialis).




Amusingly, the Kaiser has also earned the nickname of the "Motorbike Butterfly" in Thailand. Not that it flies around like a bike or makes any loud sounds, but because they are so highly-sought after by collectors, any villager in Chiangmai lucky enough to catch one will earn enough money to buy a motorcycle!
