Same here in Wisconsin. All those species are typically very battered in April and May here.livingplanet3 wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 6:57 pm The atalanta I'm seeing here in TX are nearly all in fine condition - no flight wear at all; definitely from recent, local emergence. Same with the V. cardui, V. virginiensis and P. interrogationis.

They're interesting in flight because they appear grey-ish white, rather nondescript. They're surprisingly tough to spot on the white flowers.

Chuck,
The spring brood has, as usual, been abundant here in the mountains of eastern TN and southwest VA. The little light-colored spring ones are always the biggest flight, with few of the darker, longer-tailed 2nd brood showing themselves. And the late summer 3rd brood is the least common of all, sadly. They're big and impressive, a lot like the FL specimens in your photo.
I generally take the spring ones at mud puddles (not a lot of flowers out when they're freshly flying), but the summer and late summer ones are usually seen at milkweed, buddleia, zinnias, etc. A milkweed along a dirt road hosting S. diana and E. marcellus together is a pretty sight!

Re: Buying specimens in bulk for an entomology workshop
by Chuck » Fri May 10, 2024 11:55 am
I'm amazed I even have any. I always kept many extras around for projects such as this, but it's been a long time since anyone had asked me so I unloaded thousands last year to an institution.
So I can send 100 or more if you want. But why not have the kids catch then set fresh specimens? It will be easier to set them, and the specimens would be theirs.
Which tribe/ nation are you working with?

Those that I observed this past week look dirty white in flight; later generations appear to be bright light blue in flight.

looking for victims.
Even so, even well meaning people can be unreliable, or worse, using goods and services is the only way to have an insurance policy, I've been
fooled twice, and recovered my money by the grace of providence and luck, because I don't always take my own advice. I understand the
issues with PayPal, but sellers really need to think about customers, especially new ones when it comes to payment methods.

I don't think kevink was in any way implying that you wouldn't have paid on receipt. I think he just meant that you can't expect a seller to want to send goods without payment up front.
On the other hand, you definitely did the right thing posting on Insectnet to check whether anyone knows the seller. If nobody can vouch for him I would be wary, especially if the seller initiated the offer to you.
Adam.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I've been very very tired as I am autistic and have severe insomnia plus I was without my medicine for a few days. Roger An sent me pictures which I reversed searched on google images. There are no exact matches to any of the three nor could it lead me to a different source.kevinkk wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 10:11 pm Exactly. I apologize for being misunderstood, and should have been more clear. There are some sellers who will send material like ova
before payment, but it's more of a EU practice.
I've only had a couple people send diapuased material before a payment as well.
No matter our economic status, nobody wants to make unintended "donations" I certainly have no extra money, it's
all spoken for.
