moth web sites affected

[Daniel Grosboll]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding egg laying in skippers.  Does anyone have any
suggestions on getting them to lay eggs in captivity?  I am working with the
mardon skipper (Polites mardon) and have had only limited success in getting
egg production in captivity.  We need the eggs for captive rearing to allow
reintroduction into areas from which they have been extirpated.  We have
tried different temperatures/sunlight, putting some host plant into the
cage, bare cages, corrugated material and the skippers were fed.  The
average egg production was 6 per female with a range from 0-24.

A server has crashed, leading to unavailability of several
lepidoptera-related web sites that I maintain.  Fortunately, (a) it should
be fixed in a couple of days and (b) there is an alternate way to get to
these sites in the meantime:  To access them, use:

The Lepidopterists' Society web site: 
http://alpha.furman.edu/~snyder/snyder/lep

Moth Images on the Web:  http://alpha.furman.edu/~snyder/leplist

Imagelist (where to find images of moth species): 
http://alpha.furman.edu/~snyder/imagelist

Furman University's Lepidoptera collection:

Sorry for the inconvenience.
