E. imperialis <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button> You should try to obtain the noblis subspecies or Texas Imperial Moth for your collection. The species is oddly similar to E. oslari but is found in Louisiana and eastern Texas,

Oslari, I sent Trehopr a picture of E. imperialis nobilis from E TX. Maybe he'll post it here.

Well, seems this thread has "cooled" during the last 2 (1/2) months. So I will infuse a couple more pic's on the topic to perhaps spark some more interest. Here I feature 1 of 4 drawers that I have featuring "exotic" saturniid moth diversity. My holdings are modest in this category (not for lack of interest); premier examples are just tough to come by here in the states. So, for your viewing pleasure I offer the following: Though, nothing shown is rare, uncommon, or particularly noteworthy the drawer conveys just how varied and pleasing it is to own "just a few" of these wonderful species.

Another one of my "strays" which is still in need of some drawer space is this pretty fine (male) example of Coscinocera hercules. I have now had this fellow nearly 30 yrs and he arrived in very good condition and surprisingly never "greased up" on me. He hails from the former region of New Guinea once governed/claimed by Germany prior to WW1.

Those are very nice examples of Rothschildia indeed ! A very nice genus which is a favorite of mine. Your pictures look great 👍.
You are quite fortunate in being able to attend fairs in England where you can find some nice nice specimens available (for sale). I have seen pictures of some of your fairs with some of the offerings.
I have managed to get a few nice items from a seller in Poland. It takes a month to get the goods here but, it is always first rate material. My above post which features a drawer has at least four of his items in there !
I have I think four species of Rothschildia but, I have no pairs as you do.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful specimens with us and if you have any others it would be nice to see them as well !
By the way, your picture in the Sesiid thread did not show...
