Hi,
I have a single cocoon that has been kept in my bathroom that is entering its second winter of diapause (I just checked and the pupa is still wiggling). It’s siblings had eclosed at the end of summer last year. From what I’ve heard, anecdotally, diapause can take two years, possibly more. This strain is also from southern Arizona.
Best regards,
Ryan
Hallo Jörg,
Entschuldigen Sie bitte mein Deutsch...
Ich habe auch bemerkt, daß diesen Attacus-Art sehr nervös ist. Nach meiner Erfahrung, um ein paar Fotos aufzunehmen, finde ich es besser wenn die Falter noch auf Ihren Kokons aufhängen. Viel Glück!
MfG,
Ryan
Mein Deutch ist nicht gut, aber ist das nicht nur ein stück raupenkot in einem tropfen wasser?

Looks like a species of Manduca, in my opinion. The first picture shows a hint of yellow on the abdomen.

I apologize for the late reply...
As "Rudi" mentioned above, the only other place/person I've seen offering C. hercules is Actias member "jkasi".
Kind regards,
Ryan
You're welcome! I'm not quite sure what you mean with your last sentence, but you can simply google "cheese tree", "hercules" or any combination to obtain your result.

Hi Elfin,
According to on-line literature they should accept Glochidion fernandi.

Greetings Ruben,
If natural pairings are not occurring, perhaps give hand-pairing a try?
