Hi Bill - When I surfed your WLSS, I came across the Hybrid Index. I am sending along a couple of pix from my collection. These specimens were sent to me by Tom Carr from Whitehouse, Ohio. He wrote an article Carr, TW., 1984, Hybridization between Callosamia and Hyalophora (Saturniidae) J. Lep Soc. 38:261-267.

I feel fortunate to have these specimens in my collection. So I took these pix tonite so you could add to your Hybrid Index.

Here are some particulars for this photo:

C. angulifera (m) Boone Co., West Virginia X H. c. gloveri (m) Bernalillo Co., NM X H. c. columbia (f) Montcalm Co., Michigan, EP:16.vi.1987
