Tolype nana

Recently received ova of tolype nana, asking if these are 1 generation per year ? If so what's the best way of storing them until next spring ?

Many thanks

Dear Rob;
Considering this is a neotropical species, I highly recommend not putting them cold or storing them away until spring.
I don't know how many broods they have per years, but judging by the offers on Actias it has several.

Hi Bart,

Thanks yeah think I'll keep them at room temp and keep a close eye on them just in case they decide to Hatch

Thanks for replying
