Sphingid females and pheromones
by kevinkk » Fri Apr 05, 2024 4:25 pm
tried it with Smerinthus? I have a female cerisyi and hope to attract some local males with her. I have the pupa outdoors in a screen
box, protected from the rain so she has the best chance of emerging when the local males do. I have found the larva 2 years in a row on my Salix babylonica, and assume there is a breeding population here, although I've never found an adult when I ran my UV light at home.
This is a first for me, we don't get Saturniidae here at the beach, and trying to synchronize with wild populations that are hours away
is something I have never bothered to try.

Re: Huh? Monarch butterfly range

I have captures from several locations in Solomon Islands.
University of Hawai'i on Oahu has a light morph, and on Maui can be found a dark morph.

I didn't know then that it was naturalized in New Guinea.

Re: What moth species is this?

moth, it's going to be difficult to identify.

Unfortunately it seems impossible to import with anything else other than DHL/Fedex nowadays.
From the pictures of past events, I am thinking that I would probably purchase too many pinned specimens to easily carry with me

I would have thought that a collection of pairs would be a preference

Re: Using absolutes: always, never

Exactly what I said once to my employer at the roofing company when one of my coworkers claimed he never made mistakes, after I, as foreman
made a judgement call. "You never make mistakes because you never make decisions." That ended the conversation.

If you have the import/export license, why not hand carry and schedule an inspection at the US international airport? That way you reduce risk of damage during shipping and USFWS inspection. As well, with you there during the inspection if the USFWS inspector says "hey this looks like an Ornithoptera!" you can say "no, it's a Pierid. See look here on my phone."Barnzell wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 3:05 am Hello all!
Does anyone in the United States have any experience with purchasing insects at this fair and then importing them to the US? I would really like to go but I am not exactly sure about the process of exporting from France. Of course I would use my American import license and fill out a form 3-177. Would likely mail to myself with DHL. Unfortunately my French is very limited. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Vernon. That's the summary I was asking for. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to read papers outside of my specific area of research. Job and family keep me busy, and with summer (MV season) coming I'll be pulling 4 hours of sleep a night for 90 days.vabrou wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 3:32 pm Chuck, I direct you to view our 30-year sphingids of Louisiana study. .... taken in fermenting bait traps included Sphinx kalmiae Neurn., Enyo lugubris (L.), Sphecodina abhottii (Swainson), A. floridensis, Darapsa myron, and Darapsa pholus (Cram.).

If you want to mail it, you should better use the French post system called Colissimo (cheaper and less procedurial than DHL).
In the parcel declaration, you can write "dried dead lepidoptera for study".

Don't think these are particularly rare but thought they were worth posting in this thread anyway. This is the only pair in my collection. Shown upperside & underside.
