Sorry, I can't reveal it. I attribute that night much more to luck than to skill. I think S. albofasciata isn't that rare, but it has a very brief flight time that's almost too late in the year. You need a warm streak in November to see numbers like that, which doesn't happen every year.

2010 was a very good year!
I'm looking for cincta ova. Keep me in mind when the season starts. Thanks.

Clark, I just saw this thread and wanted to let you know that if you are still interested in cincta ova in 2014, I will probable have some. I reared a bunch this year and should have ova from females X wild males, or maybe wild females. The one one night I collected them this year I had five females come in to lights in an hour, along with three Agapema anona males. That was a good night. Don't know why the anona fly in late July to very early August there, but some do.

A. anona is a really strange moth. There are flights of it all over the place at different times of the year. The main flight being in mid-October for most places though. I've seen them in June and July over on the Geronimo Trail, July and August in the Atascosas, and November-December in western Pima Co. It's easiest just to get the cocoons in Condalia and hatch them out. They are very easy to find once the Condalia turns over its leaves. Also very few adults that come to lights are in good condition because they flight wear incredibly fast.

I'd like to get a hold of Citheronia splendedns ova. I'd get C. regalis next year to Hybridize them, and hopefully, will hit East Tennessee and N.C. for C. sepulchralis.
