Price List: Lepidoptera Specimen Farming LIST a - SATURNIIDAE Price list: Lepidoptera specimen farming LIST A - SATURNIIDAE How does it work? Dear customer, I am not the typical insect dealer. Although insects from this pricelist are commercially available, it is not in my interest to become a dealer in dried insects. At heart, I am a breeder, and thus, I offer my services as breeder. That includes selling papered ex pupa A1 quality specimens. However, breeding insects takes a lot more time and energy than simply collecting them from the wild. The advantages of captive reared material: - Breeding insects for collection purposes makes less impact on their populations in the wild rather than collecting them in nature - Freshly hatched moths (ex-pupa) are of the best possible quality, for they have had minimal time to fly and damage themselves - Breeding is a sustainable method to harvest Lepidoptera as natural resources - In some cases, breeding may be more cost-effective regarding species that are difficult to collect (and may yield a less skewed male to female ratio) The disadvantages of captive reared material: - Captive bred specimens are in some cases not representative for wild specimens; their colour, size and appearance may vary due to unnatural circumstances in captivity - The specimens are generally more expensive as breeding consumes more time and energy than collecting species that may occur in abundance - Not all livestock comes with exact locality data - Captive rearing may take a lot of time(!) – in some cases, it takes over a year to complete the life cycle of one species. Please be aware of this. - Captive rearing is prone to failure; viruses, inbreeding and other problems may cause the insects to become sick and die, fail to pair or emerge crippled (risk is involved) All insects offered on this list will be farmed by me personally. Thus, I may put a lot of time and effort into raising them, including all the risks involved. Minimum order: 130$ After ordering, you can contact me (email: [email protected] ) or through social media to tell me your order. Customers can send 50% of the total amount in advance, and pay the rest of the amount upon receiving the specimens. How do I order? Personally contact me via e-mail, and I will respond to you and work out the details, including shipping costs and your expectations and required time frame. What happens if you order? Then you will receive a monthly e-mail reporting the current progression. Once the required amount of specimens are available, you will receive another e-mail. What about shipping costs? Shipping costs generally vary between $10 and $40 depending on your geographical location and order. To calculate them, ask me about the shipping costs to your country and I shall calculate them, or alternatively propose a shipping method/service yourself. Discount: Tier 1: For supporters on Patreon in “Danaus plexippus” tier or higher, 25% will be removed from the total price. Tier 2: For supports on Patreon in “Polyommatus icarus” tier, 15$ will be removed from the total price. Tier 3: For supports on Patreon in “Pieris brassicae” tier, 10$ will be removed from the total price. LINK: https://www.patreon.com/BartButterflies The prices of the specimens do not necessarily reflect market prices. Rather, they are priced by how difficult it is to breed and/or obtain them, and by how much effort it takes me to produce them; in fact, some common species can be hard to breed while some rare ones are easy to breed.

    Esperiana Band 14: 545-558 Schwanfeld, 19. Dezember 2008 ISBN 3-938249-08-0 The Moths Fauna (Lepidoptera) of Şile in the Asian Part of Istanbul Province, Turkey (pl. 39) Thomas BARON Key Words: Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Turkey, Istanbul Stichworte: Lepidoptera, Noctuoidea, Türkei, Istanbul Deutsche Zusammenfassung Der vorliegende Artikel berichtet über die Fangergebnisse von Noctuoiden und anderen Nachtfaltern in Şile, einer Kleinstadt am Schwarzen Meer in Westanatolien / Türkei. Der Ort und der Landkeis Şile sind Teil der Provinz Istanbul. Einige weitere Fangergeb- nisse des Autors in anderen Teilen der Provinz Istanbul sind ebenfalls aufgeführt. Betrachtet wurden Arten der Familien Notodontidae, Nolidae, Arctiidae, Lymantriidae, Erebidae, Noctuidae, Sphingidae, Lasiocam- pidae, Saturniidae, Drepanidae und Thyatiridae. Nicht berücksichtigt wurden Microlepidoptera und Geometridae. Die Artenliste wurde, wo nötig oder sinnvoll, mit einigen zusätzlichen Angaben angereichert, die allgemeine Verbreitung, ähnliche Arten oder das Vorkommen in Şile und anderen Teilen der Provinz Istanbul kommentieren. Für jede Art wird mit römischen Ziffern angegeben, in welchem Monat die Fänge erfolgt sind. Hierbei bedeutet (b) Anfang, (m) Mitte und (e) Ende des Monats. Die Zahl der gefangenen Spezimens wurde als grober Schätzwert für die tatsächliche Häufigkeit verwandt und die Arten dement- sprechend in vier Kategorien eingeteilt: vc – sehr häufig c – häufig s - vereinzelt r – selten Es wird deutlich, dass die Fauna Istanbuls derjenigen Rumäniens und mehr noch derjenigen Bulgariens ähnelt, beides Länder, die ebenfalls am Schwarzen Meer liegen. Da Istanbul aber auch mediterranen Einflüssen unterliegt, ist eine stärkere Vertretung des mediterranen Faunenelementes zu beobachten. Nur eine der festgestellten Arten wurde bisher in Bulgarien noch nicht gefunden, für Rumänien sind es einige mehr.

  • Commodity Risk Assessment of Nerium Oleander Plants from Turkey
    SCIENTIFIC OPINION ADOPTED: 25 March 2021 doi: 10.2903/j.efsa.2021.6569 Commodity risk assessment of Nerium oleander plants from Turkey EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH), Claude Bragard, Katharina Dehnen-Schmutz, Francesco Di Serio, Paolo Gonthier, Marie-Agnes Jacques, Josep Anton Jaques Miret, Annemarie Fejer Justesen, Alan MacLeod, Christer Sven Magnusson, Panagiotis Milonas, Juan A Navas-Cortes, Stephen Parnell, Philippe Lucien Reignault, Hans-Hermann Thulke, Wopke Van der Werf, Antonio Vicent Civera, Jonathan Yuen, Lucia Zappala, Elisavet Chatzivassiliou, Jane Debode, Charles Manceau, Ciro Gardi, Olaf Mosbach-Schulz and Roel Potting Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation EU/2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by bare rooted and potted plants of Nerium oleander that are imported from Turkey, taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by the Turkish NPPO. The relevance of any pest for this opinion was based on evidence following defined criteria. One species, the EU non-regulated pest Phenacoccus solenopsis, fulfilled all relevant criteria and was selected for further evaluation. For this pest, the risk mitigation measures proposed in the technical dossier from Turkey were evaluated taking into account the possible limiting factors. For this pest, an expert judgement is given on the likelihood of pest freedom taking into consideration the risk mitigation measures acting on the pest, including uncertainties associated with the assessment. The Expert Knowledge Elicitation indicated, with 95% certainty, that between 9,719 and 10,000 plants per 10,000 would be free of P.

    Geo-Eco-Trop., 2014, 38, 2 : 339-372 Human consumption of Lepidoptera in Africa : an updated chronological list of references (370 quoted!) with their ethnozoological analysis La consommation humaine de Lépidoptères en Afrique : une liste chronologique actualisée des références (370 citées !) avec leur analyse ethnozoologique François MALAISSE1 & Paul LATHAM2 Résumé : La consommation humaine d’insectes ou “lépideroptérophagie” connaît un intérêt croissant. Dans le présent article 370 références abordant ce thème pour l’Afrique sont citées. Des accès à cette information par ordre chronologique ainsi que par ordre alphabétique des noms d’auteurs sont fournies. Une liste systématique des noms scientifiques des espèces consommées en Afrique est encore établie. L’importance de l’information disponible pour divers groupes ethnolinguistiques est signalée. L’évolution des thèmes approchés est analysée et commentée. Mots clés: Consommation, Lépidoptères, Afrique, Campéophagie. Abstract : Human consumption of insects or « lepidopterophagy » is becoming increasingly important. In the present paper 370 references dealing with this subject in Africa are quoted. Access to this information is provided both, by chronological and alphabetic order of authors. A systematic list of scientific names of edible Lepidoptera in Africa is also provided. The importance of the information available for various ethnolinguidstic groups is presented. The evolution of issues covered is analyzed and discussed. Keywords : Consumption, Lepidoptera, Africa, Campeophagy. INTRODUCTION The utilization of insects as a sustainable and secure source of animal-based food for the human diet has continued to increase in popularity in recent years (SHOCKLEY & DOSSEY, 2014). In particular, human consumption of Lepidoptera receives an increasing interest (MALAISSE et al., 2015). Several terms have been suggested to describe this consumption, notably regarding caterpillars, “campeophagy” (MALAISSE, 2002, 2004; MALAISSE et al.

  • Anmerkungen Zur Biologie Und Zum Verhalten Des Nagelflecks Aglia Tau (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)
    Nachr. entomol. Ver. Apollo, N.F. 20 (3/4): 311-319 (2000) 311 Anmerkungen zur Biologie und zum Verhalten des Nagelflecks Aglia tau (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) Kai Füldner Dr Kai Füldner, Institut für Forstzoologie und Waldschutz, Büsgenweg 3, D-37077 Göttingen Zusammenfassung: Der Nagelfleck (Aglia tau (Linnaeus, 1758)) zeichnet sich durch eine sehr kurze Begattungsfähigkeit der Weibchen und der Be­ schränkung der Flugaktivität der Männchen auf sonniges Wetter aus. Zusätz­ lich scheint bei A. tau die Partnerwahl auf den Ausschluß von Inzucht ge­ richtet zu sein. Die optimale Entwicklung der Raupe von A. tau in Abhängig­ keit von der Futterqualität wird durch das jahreszeitlich frühe Erscheinen weitgehend gewährleistet. A. tau verfolgt eine „defensive“ Vermehrungsstra­ tegie, die vergleichsweise geringe Schwankungen in der Populationsdichte aufweist und eine Massenvermehrung durch Selbstregulierungsmechanis­ men verhindert. Dies stellt für die meisten Insektenarten die Regel dar, die somit durch ihre Anwesenheit die Diversität eines Lebensraumes steigern und als Konsumenten im Stoffkreislauf eingebunden sind. Notes on the biology and behavior of Aglia tau (Linnaeus 1758) (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) Abstract: A. tau is characterized by a very short ability of the female to co­ pulate and the limitation of the flight activity of the male to sunny weather. If the weather is bad, part of the population can be excluded from the repro­ duction through this, when for example in warm but rainy weather a part of the moth hatches out but the males are not able to fly and the females lose their ability to attract males after a short period of time. In addition to that the choice of partner seems to be focused on the exclusion of inbreeding.
