I'm embarrased to say, but feel I need to make my mistake knoewn.

I recently sprayed my roses with insecticide to control aphids.  I forgot to
wash my hands and fed my cecropia larvae a few hours later. 90% were dead the
next day.  I've raised them for many years, and this is the first time I've
made the mistake, with disatorous results!!!  Please remember to wash your
hands and the leaves you feed your larvae every time you handle them.

Chris
