Extract
On the night of June 4, 1933, we “tied out” seven females of Tropaea luna and by 11 p. m. four of them had found mates.
On June 10 at 1.30 p. m., a male and a female Actias selene emerged from cocoons which we had purchased in New York. The following day two males emerged. Copulation occurred with one of these at 11.55 p. m. The mates separated at 2.30 the next morning and the female began ovipositing at once.
