Hallo!
ich habe eine Frage, steht der Samia ricini in Europa unter einen nationalen Artenschutz?
Ich würde gerne seine Eier verkaufen.

Samia ricini ist eine eingeschleppte Art - kein Europäer - kein Artenschutz

Ok
Vielen Dank

I'm not saying I believe everything I read- but I have read something from a reputable breeder that said something like-
"there is no such thing as Samia ricini", it's all Samia cynthia. Maybe someone else has an opinion about that. I see
various Samia "forms" along with ricini. offered from time to time. If there is no "ricini", how did that get started?

Hallo, dieser Schmetterling war der erste, den ich 1989 gezüchtet habe.
Zu der Zeit hieß es "samia cynthia" und die Zucht wurde hauptsächlich auf dem Ailanthus und in der Pannenhilfe auf ligustrum empfohlen.
Deshalb war sein Name " bombyx de ailanthus"
Es ist ein Schmetterling, der aus China importiert wurde, um mit der Seidenraupe in Frankreich zu konkurrieren, aber es hat nicht funktioniert.
Im Gegensatz dazu wächst der ailanthus überall in Frankreich und wird zu einer invasiven Pflanze.

Some authors consider "Samia ricini" to be a non-scientific name of a rearing form based on Samia cynthia. Possibly even a multihybrid.
Recent DNA barcode investigations indicate that the cultivated silkworm S. ricini was derived from the non-cultivated silkworm S. canningi.
S. ricini and S. cynthia are distinct species (Source: Journal of Insects as Food and Feed 8(1):1-8 from August 2021 )

Menetriesi has it right! I would be very suprised if this species (Samia ricini) received protection anywhere - considering it is a 'domesticated' species. That would be like protecting stray dogs or housecats...!
Even when introduced into the wild there is no evidence populations can sustain themselves for long (usually the population collapses in several years). It seems they depend on humans raising them ..
