My two largest wild-collected larvae have completed their transformation. One female eclosed 9/10/15. She was released today late morning. A male eclosed late morning, he was released today, also, late afternoon. I would have kept him until tomorrow, but a weather system is bringing rain. In retrospect, I wish I had kept him on sugar water/nectar replacement through the weekend. He stayed on my hand for a couple minutes, then flew SE over rural field. The female was much stronger, and flew N to very close sumac.
