My first Hemileuca burnsi of the season eclosed yesterday. No other pupae look ready to pop so this is probably just the early flier of the batch. However, it...
Most of my collection was in wood boxes, many were glass-topped display cases, most were not. They all sealed well, but occasionally Dermestids did get in...
