Newly emerged adult - Proserpinus terlooii
Tucson, Pima County, Arizona, USA
September 29, 2011
Pupation in 1.5" of loose soil with about 20% wet spagnum moss added. Occasionaly added some sprinkled water to keep from drying out. After two weeks I moved it inside (80F). Three weeks later I put it outside (avg high 95F) again where it finally eclosed.

I will pin this and post photos later
