Hi guys and gals this is my first post heres one of my fave pics of a pair of Dirphia avia that l reared a few years ago. One problem that l had l reared 20 larvae to pupation and l ended up with 19 males to one female...
Also when clearing out the larvae l had one full grown larva fall on my hand resulted in a 4in blister so beware if your going to rear these. Superb looking larvae though...

Those caterpillars are wicked looking! Thanks for sharing the picture & your experience. Charlie
