Hi Reg I share your enthusiasm for P&T. I have 2 tips to offer: 1. I'm sure users realise that familiarisation with the morphology diagrams on pp.10 & 11 is...

Both the links failed in my last 2 posts. No-wonder there was no response. Try this one instead. http://tinyurl.com/ylofro As before, Is this a young drinker...
Thanks Steve, The Red/brown one has hibernated. The Black caterpillar continues to feed. Starting to think now that it may be something different. Regards Dave...
Hi Dave Your 'Tiny' link failed as well. Links on Yahoo can be difficult. To make a link, do this: 1.Go to your folder in Files and click edit. 2. Shorten your...
Thanks Ian, I tested the Tiny link before I sent it and it worked OK. Something, somewhere, must have made it expire. The photo below is for Identification....
Hi Dave, Yes, definitely a Drinker Moth. The reason the first of your two links below fails is because it has an extra _ at the end. I always 'paste and...
Or the darker colouring is an adaptation to allow it to stay active longer? Cheers, Steve [VC7/8] http://www.wiltshiredragonflies.org.uk/ This mail is a...
Hi all, while browsing a 'wallpaper art/photos' site I found this: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Breeding_UK-Leps/files/SJC/ and the photographer was...
Many thanks Jeroen, I THOUGHT it looked like pudibunda - it was the missing 'tail' that threw me. I've passed this info along. Cheers, Steve [VC7/8] ...

Hi all, Am gradually extending the number of pupae illustrated in close-up on the http://www.ukleps.org/ website. Apart from the difficulty in photographing...
I found a elephant hawk moth caterpillar last sept/oct. I work in education and kept it in a habitat with willowherb to feed on to show schoolchildren. It...
Hi there, well, you could take a few pictures of it, or you could set it, then you would have to kill it but if you released it the result would be the same. ...
I agree with the reply from Andy.I haven't bred the elephant hawk for years now but I would think that what you think is cool for the pupae is in fact too...
I had one emerge out of sequence last summer so I let it go after taking pictures. If you are going the photography route, put it in a plastic container in the...
Hi Paul, (and all) You may well be right but there are so many similar larvae that overwinter when part grown that I wouldn't like to put money on which ...
Hello, Can anyone put a name on this larva, around two cms. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Breeding_UK-Leps/files/Chris/ Thanks. Chris [Non-text portions...
Hi Chris The pale dorsum on the thoracic segments with a central darker line is typical, but not always as distinct as on your specimen, of Syndemis musculana....
Hi Thanks for your reply. The moth is still alive & I'm feeding it on sugared water. It probably hasn't many days left -we did try to release it on a warmer...
