Global travel collecting
by Chuck » Sat Apr 06, 2024 9:45 pm
My suggestion if I may- don't buy commercially, use that money to go there. You're young enough to learn to handle the hardships and maximize collecting efforts. Why buy one when you can catch ten?

iNaturalist tries to stay on top of systematics, but sometimes there can be a delay.

Maybe contact Mikeh.
He seems to travel all over that region.
Probably one of the most knowledgeable Western collectors regarding where certain butterflies can be found.
Evra might know as well but, he seems to collect the more southerly portions of the West in much drier habitats. He is certainly very knowledgeable in that regard.

Congratulations are in order for finishing up your schooling.
Very nice to see you once again posting some of your acquisitions. Have missed your presence here on the forum but, hope to see more of you here now as youthful collectors help to invigorate our forum !
A. narcissus is certainly a grand start in the genus and females of just about anything are just "icing on the cake" for one's collection.
Wish you well in your endeavors and do stay in touch with us here !

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.

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.

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.
