I am glad to see that it was the eggs that were no good from you none of the Rhodinia eggs hatched that I brought from you.

Hi I had wasps discover newley hatched sinensis larvae in the greenhouse and take over 100 in less than 2 hours, as you have a good number of cocoons I would breed them in captivity then glue 50 or so eggs to twigs and tie in the trees when they come into leaf.this would put large numbers to start I have always used Pritt stick glue to glue silkworm eggs in trays with no ill effect,good hatch rates on the eggs.Good luck

Hi I received eggs of this species on Wednesday afternoon,put them straight in the fridge,on checking today oer half had hatched will the take blackberry? That is about all I have at the moment unless some one knows another foodplant? Thanks dean

Thanks for that I will look into them,dean

Is there a suitible ever green food plant for Loepa species? Thanks

Hi, I have had eggs take 10 days to arrive but this was not from the USA the was mainland Europe to the UK! It does normally only take 2 or 3 days but you are always hopeing that a species you have been waiting for is not the one that get delayed.Hope arrive for you.

Excellent thanks very much

Will do tomorrow thanks for all the replies

A lady has it as a hedge it is cut down to ground level every autumn would be a shrub,grows very quickly so would make a good foodplant and has given permission to use through the summer and take sucker if of use, thanks dean

could be very useful if it is sumac

It is spread by suckers and very fast growing if this helps?

can anyone tell me what this is please thank you
