Does anyone know any food plants that work for C. securifera besides sweetbay magnolia?
I don't have any sweetbay so I am wondering if anything else works.
Thanks,
Tim

Split the eggs into small groups and try sassafras, tulip poplar, wild black cherry and any deciduous magnolia species found in your area

I have this morning placed orders for the following Saturnidae species, Actias luna, Rothschildia forbesi (R. lebeau) and Agapema homogena which I hope to rear on Salix viminalis, privet and buckthorn respectively, I believe the luna should produce another brood later this year and the homogena are single brooded so any advice on overwintering (temperature, humidity etc) and are the Rothschidia continually brooded if kept warm or are they best over wintered, I have a huge privet hedge now so if possible I would like to try and keep them going this winter in several generations indoors.
Any advice much appreciated
Rich
