Let me just add that I know she has at least visited this site in the last few days because she had posted an ad in the Lepidoptera deadstock section for a Citheronia aberrant specimen. This furthers my suspicion that I am being taken for a ride.

Hello everyone,
I am reviving this thread because I have not received my order of regalis ova from Katelyn Mayo. My previous order with her (May 26) came through with no issue. So I placed another order with her eight days ago and was told the ova would be sent. My first order came through in half the time, but here I am now eight days later with two un-answered emails and nothing in the mail. Obviously I hope everything is ok with her, but I would be lying if I didn't say I'm afraid I'm getting ripped off this time around. If anyone is in communication with her please inform her that I am still waiting for my order.
Thanks, Ryan

Thank you all for your input. I will give each method a try. For the at-home freezing method, would you place the specimen in a ziploc bag/glassine envelope with wings folded up or in their at-rest position? I've been raising leps here and there throughout the years, but I am fairly new to the mounting of insects. I'm eager to try my hand at this. Thanks again for all your input. Regards, Ryan

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here would care to share their methods of dispatching Sphingids/Saturnids in preparation for mounting? Due to their larger bodies I would think that a kill jar/container would be impractical since it would take longer for a specimen to succumb to the fumes, in addition to the likelihood of destroying itself in the process.
Regards, Ryan
