Hi lep. Enthusiasts,

I am in need of some Io moth (Automeris io) eggs. If any of you have
some last year’s cocoons and are possibly going to later get eggs as
they eclose please let me know.  Or, if you happen upon a female under
a night light or if you moth collect at an illuminated white sheet on
a regular basis, please if you get a female place her in a brown paper
bag. She will then over the next few night deposit a bunch of eggs in
the bag’s interior.  If any of you find a female please let me know. I
will greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Wayne
