Patrons of the Sphingidae and Catocala Sites

The "Sphingidae of the Americas" website and the "North American Catocala" website are brought to you by Bill Oehlke and the World's Largest Saturniidae Site.

Both the "Sphingidae of the Americas Website" and the "Catocala Website" are on web space which I personally rent from Bizland.com. The annual rental fee is approximately $100.00 U.S. as of August 2010.

I am not affiliated with any university/museum/research center, etc. I am not receiving any grants to develop the sites. The work and expenses are my own.

I am very thankful for the many images that people have been sending, some for identification purposes, some to enhance the sites. All images used on the site remain the property of the respective photographers.

Quite a few knowledgable people have also been sending sighting reports and these are a great help in accumulating data which is important in its own right and also helps me to make interpolations to create useful county by county checklists for the United States. New pictoral checklists are created/updated as new images/data are submitted. This is an ongoing process.

If you would like to become a "Patron of the Sphingidae Site" or "Patron of the Catocala Site" with a one time donation of a dollar (or any amount), please send donation to

U.S. banknotes, personal checks are fine. I have begun in August 2006 to create a "Patron of the Sphingidae Site" list. It will be updated once every six months and will include categories for photographic support, extensive data submissions and financial contributions. First posting will be in December of 2006.

Over the next several months I will begin to go through the files to compile a list of the many photographers who have contributed their work to the site, and the many collectors/observors who have sent extensive data.
