Hi All,
+++++++++++++++++++
Canadian livestock sold out very quickly this year. Nothing is left for shipping within Canada. I only have my breeding stock for next year.
In the US, all Sphingidae and Ceratocampinae are sold out except for a small number of Pachysphinx modesta pairs from Colorado at $15.00/pair, and there are some Eacles imperialis pairs at $18.00/pair from Alabama.
We still have cocoons of the following species: luna and polyphemus reduced to $5.00/cocoon, io, promethea and cynthia all at $5.50/cocoon; cecropia at $7.00/cocoon. The modesta pairs could be shipped with the cocoons for one shipping fee of $9.00.
If you wish to order imperialis, they would be shipped separately from the other species, and there would be a separate shipping fee for them at $9.00. I believe there are also probably two Heraclides cresphontes pupae that could be shipped with the imperialis.
Imperialis pairs that were shipped earlier are all from Ohio, so these new imperialis would provide a fresh gene pool.
I would have to check, but there may be some additional male regalis still available, but no females. The extra regalis males would be shipped separately as well.
Christmas is coming, and I do have what appears to be an oversupply of luna and polyphemus cocoons. The luna and polyphemus are reduced to 5.00 each for small orders of less than ten, to $4.75 for orders of any combination of ten or more luna and or polyphemus and to $4.50 US for any orders of any combination of 20 or more luna and or polyphemus.

As always, please send complete shipping address, specify species and quantities desired, indicate payment method, but do not send payment until your order has been confirmed by me.

If you are in US and order cocoons or pupae from me this fall or winter, you will probably see a New Jersey return address on the shipping box. Do not send payment to the New Jersey address; send it to name and address above please.
This website has been created and is maintained by Bill Oehlke without government or institutional financial assistance. All expenses, ie., text reference support material, webspace rental from Bizland and 1&1, computer repairs/replacements, backups systems, software for image adjustments (Adobe Photoshop; L-View), ftp software, anti-virus protection, scanner, etc. are my own. The one-time-life-time membership fee that is charged at the time of the registration covers most of those expenses.
I very much appreciate all the many images that have been sent to me, or of which I have been granted permission to copy and post from other websites. All images on this site remain the property of respective photographers.
If you would like to contribute to the maintenace of this website by sending a contribution to
Bill Oehlke
Box 476
155 Peardon Road
Montague, Prince Edward Island, C0A1R0

your donation would be much appreciated and would be used for
1) paying for webspace rental;
2) paying for computer maintenance and software upgrades;
3) purchases of additional text reference material (journals and books) in an effort to stay current with new species;
I also hope to expand the North American Catocala site as well as the Sphingidae of the Americas site, to worldwide sites, and that will require additional funds for reference materials, etc. Both of those site are linked from your WLSS homepage.
If you are mailing a check from USA, please use $1.25 postage (2017 rate). Donations can also be made through Paypal via the button below.
Donations are not required to maintain your standing as a WLSS member, nor do they gain you any preferencial treatment with regard to livestock and/or supplies (sleeves), compared to other WLSS members. All WLSS members get first crack at my annual offerings and get an approximate discount of 10% as compared to non-members.
I do usually ask donors if they have any special requests for information on WLSS, and I try to accomodate when appropriate or within my ability to do so.
