(Sorry for triplicate posts. I just realized that I didn't answer a question.) Bluemoth, if it were me, I'd pair only those with purple in the wings and each generation keep them separate where they can't pair with anything else and see if the purple gets stronger. Be sure to keep quite a few going if you can. If you limit genetics too much, you'll lose everything you've gained. I haven't added in wild genetics in the last year but we keep so many going that we can go for longer without adding in more. We do have a separate line of Buckeyes that aren't inbred. We add wild ones to them twice a year. We've been raising Buckeyes for 11 years now. (I hope I answered all the questions. If I didn't, yell!)
