Dear members, Some of you may already know me, and some may not. I'm Bart and I have a small Youtube channel about Lepidoptera. It started as a casual hobby because I like to talk about insects, but currently I have a modest amount of subscribers, for such a specific topic. A link to a more recent video: While I am more of a breeder than a collector, this has slowly started to change since I started working in the insect collection of a natural history museum, and now I upload videos of both live insects and interesting specimens. Furthermore, in a few weeks time, I will experience the first collecting trip in my life in Cambodia, where I aim to make many videos of the collecting operations and upload them when I arrive back to the Netherlands, my home country. YouTube is and was a casual hobby for me, but in 2019 I hope to see some serious improvements after posting silly stuff for a few years, including better editing and camera equipment (although there probably will be silly stuff too ) Regards from Bart, and if you are interested, I also have a website about breeding: breedingbutterflies.com/

It would be interesting if you made videos of raising Citheronia vogleri from Argentina and Bolivia. Those are very lovely moths.

Perhaps some day I will need to travel to collect livestock of the species I cannot obtain. So far I've done C. laocoon/regalis/azteca/beledonon. I have a chance of obtaining and breeding sepulcralis, lobesis and splendens though. For the South American species, it is difficult to obtain eggs or pupae. I don't think I have a chance of breeding many of them unless I go and capture them myself.. oh well, some time!

Hi, thanks for the wonderful pictures. As I do not know all species, it would be nice to have the names of them, the caterpillars are much more difficult to determinate. Do you lice in the U.S.?
Your website looks professionell.
Have a good time Joachim
