male columbia on P.E.I.

Tue Jun 2 07:46:51 EDT 1998

Hi all,
A male Hyalophora columbia flew in and mated with one of my caged 
female cecropias last night.  Columbia had not been previously 
reported on P.E.I. despite there being an abundance of larch. 
Columbia have been reported from nearby Nova Scotia and New 
Brunswick.
