It is an early hatch of Hyalophora euryalus here in Santa Cruz County 2/24/2012. I have had two males and one female so far in the past 5 days at my light. So fun to find one of these big beauties at my light in the morning. I found the female last night flapping around confused on the porch so kept her in a cage in the house over night. She was quite fat and laid eggs. If you want eggs see my add in the classifieds.

Awesome, I was wondering if it was time to be taking my MV light and generator out and obviously it is.  |

Hi What. Activity will now slow down because it is getting colder and will rain next week. I think you may still be lucky and get a moth or two during this next week. Plenty of pretty little winter moths to keep you entertained if no Euryalus appear. The tiny micros can be so beautefull to. I black light most of the winter for stuff that flies only in winter.

I am quite a bit south of you and my area runs at the higher end of coastal SoCal's temperatures, today it is 78F out my back door. I dont have high hopes, but lucking into a S. walterorum is my current dream.  |
