Just in general, what lure type would work for most sesiid moths? I would wonder if the hornet moth lure would attract other species other than it?

This guy is bad news. Going far enough to claim that he is in the US would be beneficial for him as he has had multiple issues relating shipping costs. I would steer clear from him, and if he lies about permits, that is an instant red flag. At that rate, I would just stick to the genuine dealers on the suppliers list of insectnet.

Unlike Obama and Hilary who are saints? Of course it is easier to blame others than the person himself. Dude is about as false as them, if not about worse. I mean, he always has this $#it eating grin everytime he talks about how good, or bad ass, or whatever he says about himself. Most politicians are narcissists, but tRump is a whole different animal. It is rather comedic to be honest.

I can understand Tom's frustration. Same here in the Eastern Sierra Nevada. It has been in the 60's 70's then all of a sudden, and snow storm or rain storm comes in and the temperatures drop. Hope it stays decent for next weekend.

No worries, Leroy! I was thinking about acquiring some of the green and clear moth traps with some scentry pheromone plugs for American and western hornet moth along with either sequoia pitch and lesser peach borer lures just to see what I get by next month. If you have a suggestion for a good general pheromone to use, I am all ears.

If you are in the Davis area, there are many areas near there to collect. You have the Napa Valley area near there as well and if you can drive 30 minutes east on I-80, the west slopes of the Sierra Nevada's is always good this time of year. Now, California can be difficult to collect in certain areas. You can't collect in state parks without a permit. You can collect along roadsides, as long as they are NOT withing state park boundaries. National forests are open to collecting, and if there is private property that looks good, ask the owner for permission. The lake Berryessa area is pretty good this time of year. If you are willing to drive east, the Placerville area is excellent for spring leps, and so is the Auburn area and Folsom Lake at the foothills.

Leroy, I would also be interested in seeing your sesiid trap photographs as well. I have a couple of homemade set ups I will try out, but the more ideas the better. Thanks

Exoticimports. I have read that book and it is totally of cue with what Yoshi is. He is, or was a fanatic for sure, and got a but too carried away. Then again, people will do a lot of crazy crap for money.

I do agree with you Paul, but none the less, if it weren't for Yoshi trespassing or collecting in areas he shouldn't, it would be easier for those who collect a couple here and there. Plus, he did it for money. He would of been more successful rearing these bugs at home than going to a single area and taking 100's of specimens.

Exoticmimports has a point, yet so does Olivier. Need I invoke the name of Yoshi? If it were not for his over collecting, one would be able to collect Speyeria nokomis apacheana in Round Valley, California. There is a story I remember about him where he collected about 200 in a day. I do remember he did the same with Philotes sonorensis in the Verdugo Mts. near L.A.

The State of California wants to make it to where anyone collecting for a hobby, research, or other scientific purpose must have to get an all state collecting permit. It is super expensive, and is a complete joke! I get it if they do it for state parks and such, but to have to have one for collecting in National Forest, BLM land, or even private property is ridiculous!.

Don Andres,
Espero que ha encontrado las respuestas que deseaba encontrar. Yo no soy experto en Heliconidos, mas bien, me estoy acostumbrando en la fauna de mi area, que es la cuidad de Reno, Nevada y las Sierra Nevada de California.

After some very cold temps last week, we are seeing some relatively nice weather this week. I have seen several moths flying around my porch light recently. Having never collected any winter moths in the past I may give it a try this year. If I am successful, I'll post a few pics of spread specimens. Leroy's post has sparked a bit of inspiration. Tom and Leroy, at least you have good luck with getting these guys. Here, it's been cold and dry, even though it seems winter in coming in later than normal. We had a bit of slush fall last night, but nothing else. The mountains got a good dusting. I do have some different types of bait ready to use this spring, but if the temps are reasonable, might start earlier. Then I have a trip to El Salvador in March.

True. I might be a youngster. Aside from the knee issues, I can do anything else pretty good. Last summer, I perfected the flycatcher method. Lol Me and a friend camped out at the East Side of Steens Mountain in Oregon along a small stream. There were plenty of cruising P.multicaudata pusillus, P. rutulus, and an occasional P. eurymedon(which I missed a couple). It got so hot, that I stayed in the shade and sat in a camp chair while my friend was looking for cicadas. Every time a swallowtail came in, I'd swing and net it. If it was too beaten up, it'd go free. I caught some nice specimens and let the rest go.
