That is a lot! I like the Hemileuca. I hope to find a live female of Actias luna this year. I would like to rear them this year.

Nice! I love those Eacles. As kids we dreamed of finding one, though I now know they don’t occur in my home region.

I have 34 Cornell Drawers of Saturnidae. All North American.
Now that I have returned to NE Ohio, I will make several 3 or 4 day trips to the UP of Michigan. I would like to rear Hyalophora columbia.
I would also like to find Pyrgus centaureae centaurae. It is the nommonent species. Pyrgus centaureae wynadot occurs in the Appalachian Mountains of central and Western Virginia.
I collected a single specimen of Pyrgus centaureae centaureae in the lower Peninsula of Michigan near Thompson Harbor in 1994.

Very nice indeed Tim ! Quite a varied species selection. Far more than anything I had at your age... Keep it up and you will in time have a well rounded selection of the family from North America. Just spare us the "bragging" bravado that some individuals seem to enjoy "bandying" about on the forum.

Are those cecropia in the top right drawer? What’s the capture data?
Thanks

Sure does. I didn’t realize cecropia was that common that far west. Thanks.
