Yep, that's it. Mine is A. virginiensis and exhibits the quadripectinate antennae. Hard to see in tiny Ceratos without a lens (for me anyway) because of the hunch-backed posture, however you would term that. But I can see it easily if I turn the specimen over and look from the ventral side. Mine do not have the speckling, but I also made the ID from the larvae so I am fairly confident it's correct as it was confirmed by the resulting imagos. Hmm, seems to me if you like Saturnidae then you should collect them all, not just the fancy ones. I guess it depends on whether you are making a collection or just a display. Too bad they aren't collected more, they are not uncommon at all. I'll snap some photos soon, just haven't gotten to it yet.

I collect all Saturniidae and would love some Anisotas, but no-one will sell them outside of the States. I think the only species I have is peigleri, and that is thanks to Ric Peigler who sent them to me.
