Thought u might like to see my A. zephyria and A. io neomexicana crunching away on Wild Cherry. It's kind of like an extension to my trip to NM. Maybe I'll again have ova of A. io neomexicana in September if I can get a pair to copulate. The A. Zephyria will have to wait until next spring.....I think.
Btw....the straw you see in the background is inserted along with cherry twigs so I can easily add water to the water bottle. The water level usually goes down an inch per day. I merely take a nozzled squeeze bottle and squirt water down the straw into the water bottle. This minimizes bothering the larvae to attend to maintaining decent water levels. It also helps keep me from rubbing against some of those larval spines.
