    Hi,

    I am curious to know the weight of Actias dubernardi cocoons (with the pupae inside it) from various breeders. I'd like to find the average, min, and max weight for both sexes. Also, adult wingspans and tail lengths or any other measurements would be appreciated.


    Thanks

    I haven't reared them either, but recorded hostplants are:

    Cinnamomum obtusifolium
    Laurus obtusifolia
    Litsea citrata
    Litsea polyantha
    Litsea salicifolia
    Machilus bombycina
    Machilus odoratissima
    Magnolia sphenocarpa
    Michelia
    Persea
    Pyrus malus
    Quercus
    Sarcostemma brevistigma
    Symplocos grandiflora
    Tetranthera diglottica
    Tetranthera glauca
    Tetranthera macrophylla
    Tetranthera monopetala
    Tetranthera polyantha

    Sorry, I don't speak German.


    I was wondering what type of conifer this is? Is it even a species of Pinus? Or another genus entirely? The needles spiral around the branch, not like Larix though, needles are thick, flattened, dark green and about 13 cm in length.
