Please can you take a small plastic sample bottle with you when out in the wild to take any larvae into protective custody for further study and rearing? The survival rate in the wild for caterpillars is about 1%, ie: a virtual death sentence.

They would have a better chance in the wild. I figure they would have a 0.001% chance of survival if I tried to rear them. I could package them up and send them to you? But you are overseas so I don’t think that works either.
