Bueautiful species!
I was lucky to collect few Automeris sp. in French Guiana , but I would love to have some N.American in my collection besides A.io which is the only one I believe occurs in Southern Ontario.

Great pictures Bill! They certainly are stunning species. For those interested here is what A. zephyria larvae look like: From my rearing last year.  |

Thnx Mothman27,
I have pics of A. zephyria from last year, and since I didn't rear the this year, forgot to include them.

I couldn't agree more. I've got a female IO on a board that I collected off the sheet right now. Gorgeous species.
