The Weiwei Zhang Collection: China

Weiwei writes, November 8, 2007: "I just collected some species (including male and female) and eggs of Actias chapae. I hope I can communicate with the people who want to get them, through sales or exchanges for other species and insect books. I believe that many friends are eager to get the very valuable silkmoths. Certainly, I have other Chinese silkmoths for sale or exchange. Now I have more than 100 thousand insect species from each part of China, and hope to communicate and cooperate with people from everywhere."

"I also can provide you some of my silkmoth photos continuously."

Images of the following Saturniidae from China have recently been sent to me by Weiwei Zhang. This section will now feature images of live moths and will expand over time as Weiwei shares images, foodplants, locations and flight seasons.
