Extract

Recent observations of Platysamia gloveri Str. have brought out some interesting facts on the varying length of hibernation periods. The gloveri moth is restricted almost entirely to the Rocky Mountain Region of the western United States. This implies in general, therefore, the ability to withstand subzero weather throughout the lengthy winter season.
