I am still trying to get the hang of callosamia species. From what I can see, Promethea has diminished white spots on the forewings and prominent white spots on the hindwings. Angulifera has prominent white spots on both fore and hindwings. Securifera has prominent spots on the forewings and diminished spots on the hindwings. These spots are more yellow in color than the other two species. Also, the overall color is lighter. Am I wrong in any of this? Also, did I actually catch a securifera this time, or am I mistaken again and have yet another angulifera? I only kept this one for id purposes and the hope of getting a few eggs. Attachments:

It appears to be a female securifera. Bill Oehlke
