Antherina suraka from Madagascar

[Christopher Conlan]

A. suraka is easy to raise on several plants.  I have used Ligustrum 
and Oleander with good success.  They come from an area that does not 
get very cold so holding the cocoons in cool conditions is very risky.  
The freezer is certainly out of the question (few if any species can 
stay in the freezer for an extended length of time) and the fridge 
would be very risky.  Best of luck.
