A police artist's sketch of the suspects aided Gendarmerie efforts 
to nab the scholarly bug-nappers.

The Gendarmerie was tipped that two people had set up traps to catch
specific butterflies and insects in the countryside around Karadut
village in Adıyaman province and smuggle them out of Turkey. 
After setting up surveillance, the Gendarmerie captured two foreigners
who came to collect the traps, Italian G.S. and Englishman P.J.M.

Both suspects are professors (!) and a search at their hotel yielded
2 insect traps, 2 illuminated insect traps, 11 insect preservation boxes,
600 insects and 25 butterflies. 

The creatures were turned over to the Kahta National Park Nature
Preservation Unit.  Meanwhile, the two professors were fined
120,326 TL (about $25,000), under the provisions of Environment
Law 2872, and deported.
