3 old moths

[joachim]

HiI,3 old moths from a drawewr I bought. The Urania ripheus is just to see that the color of the photo is okay.
The automeris has a label automeris cecrops from 1957. The Samia is also from that time. The one in the upper left Anthaerea pernyi or something like that.
Please give me your thoughts (not about meaning of life, just about the moths)

Thanks Joachim

Here, unfortunately your three examples are quite badly faded from excessive light exposure. A pity, because they look to be well spread.

I cannot verify the Automeris species but, you do have the other two correct. All three are beautiful moths when their colors are natural and undamaged.

Hopefully, you were able to acquire some genuinely nice specimens beyond these in the drawer you purchased.

Hi, thanks in the drawer there also a Morho, a Caligo and.. and others, I have some automeris from breeding, also the samia.
Here is just a poor, qick shot.
The small Geometrids were caught in a spa in 1971, so I think all other moths are from the 60's or before. I bought the box because of an Armadia lidderdaleii, 150 EUR is okay so far,


Thanks and have good time, Joachim
