What's up with US Saturniidae?
Once in a while, I purchase a few cocoons of very trivial overwintering N. American Saturniidae: H. cecropia. and A. polyphemus, just for fun. This year I can not find any. I really do not feel like importing them from UK or France. Did something happen to these species in the US, or this is just a ...

Re: Cheirotonus
Well, these photos aren't actually the specimens owned by livingplanet3, they are photos from internet sites; but I am sure livingplanet3's collection must be impressive too. I should mention that Cheirotonus species are protected in Thailand. Adam. Ops! I thought that the watermarks were inserted ...

Re: Update II
Trehopr1, The nickname "lamprima" came up just by chance. I do like this genus, however, all specimens I have are just "mainstream" green L. adolphinae. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'll try to select something else to share. I have a small collection of antique insect prints if ...

This is another example of the English style of Catocala (presumably, fraxini) presentation:

Re: Anise Swallowtail (Papilio zelicaon)
This Summer I raised a few larvae of P. zelicaon, found in my backyard (S.California), they pupated in July.
It looks like they are going to overwinter. This has never happened before, they used to ecose
in 2-3 weeks after pupation. Should I blame climate change, according to the modern trend?

Re: Update II
I've found that legs of lepidoptera usually get in the way, I'll agree the forelegs exposed are a nice touch, but nearly all my leps have the legs tucked underneath, depending on the species it can be a real challenge. I tend to spread the front legs in Sphingidae and Saturniidae specimens (I never...

Re: Mantis identification
Chuck and kevinkk,
This is almost certainly an Arizona mantis - Stagmomantis limbata:
there are dark marks on tegmina, while dark stripes on the dorsal side
of the abdomen (characteristic of S.californica) are absent.
Thank you both as always!
