Hi Claude,
I think I have also H. edwarsii from your friend. I fed them with oak and they pupate all the last 2 weeks. I don´t know what will happen with the pupae now. I keep them indoor and hope they will hatch soon.
Regards Dietmar

last year you could buy Paradichlorbenzol at German Insectfairs or order at German entomolgical suppliers. I think it is still the same.

Hello Radovan, my friend, you may be right, Prague is one of the biggest insect fairs in the world, the biggest is still in Frankfurt. But, did you ever visit our insect fair in Weiden/Bavaria? 200 km away from Prague ! It takes place the second weekend in September. It is the first insect fair after summer in mid of Europe. Last year we had about 70 private exhibitors with mainly Palearctic bugs. They came from Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Czeck, Slovakia, Hungaria, Belarus, Ukraina, Poland, Lithuania... and of course from all over Germany. Free entry and 1 m of Table costs 10.- Euro. Exchange is prefered. I am fair, if you are looking only for "exotic stuff "you will be disappointed. Dietmar
P.S.
For further questions don´t hesitate to contact me.
Please excuse my bad english

For me it is the same as for Hectorides, I cannot explain things very good in english. I am also a silent reader. So I hope you understand what I want to say. Not the total number of members makes a great Forum, the number of the active members make it. Dietmar

Hi wollastoni, G. isabellaea is not protected in Switzerland, only in France and Spain. We have this discussion at actias. de (or actias.com) since years. It should be no problem to get eggs from Switzerland at this time. Dietmar

I also do not want to give my full address here. But where is the problem to tell your country ? I think it would be easier to communicate. Let me explain. If you read my bad english you can see that I am German and learned english only in school. If someone writes: today I took this picture of a butterfly in my backyard, what is it? You can see the country and determination could be easier. Or if someone has problems with importing butterflies in "my country" ...... or .. This is only my opinion. Kind regards Dietmar
Claude, dein Problem war sicher anders als das von Hannes. Die "few other things" haben überwogen.

A friend of my daughter came back from Afghanistan last week. He is a soldier. He has nothing to do with insects or so, but he knows that I am interested in butterflies. He told me that the German MP was looking for 2 things when they left the country: drugs and animals. As the MP do not know (do not want to know?) what is Cites or not, they confiscate all animals and of course drugs. All the best Dietmar

Hello, when I was a little boy, 50 years ago, butterflies were always in our house. My father collected since the 1930s and he did it till he died, 1989. Therefore I cannot say when I started, I grew up with butterflies. But I remember some funny things. One winter in the beginning 1960s he reared an Automeris or Rothschildia species. The only food in winter was primrose (cowslip). So we went to all the gardeners around and bought all the plants. One summer we went out every day with our van and an axe to take hawthorne, oak and others for some hundreds of larvae (A. selene, luna, R. jaccobaea...). Exotic lifematerial was not easy to get at this time. My father had good connections to France at this time and his partner´s name was Chaminade or so. In 1964 we were very proud to get 4 pupae of Agrema mittrei. 2 males and one female hatched. At this time we did not know the foodplants of mittrei. This was my beginning. Now I rear only Arctiids and some selected Bombyces and Diuranae.
Regards Dietmar
