Biography:

I specialize in the family Saturniidae. I am an all around nature fanatic, but moths (especially the family mentioned) are my "best subject." I've reared many species from Saturniidae and Sphingidae, and go on many caterpillar hunts. My main interest toward them started around 8 years ago when I raised some Hyalophora cecropia to adulthood from eggs. Ever since I have read and done as much as I can in dealing with saturniids.
