Abstract | During the summer of 1983 seven melanistic male promethea moths appeared among several hundred males that emerged from cocoons we were holding in the laboratory. They probably emerged from cocoons that had been reared from stock collected in central Wisconsin but perhaps came from cocoons that had been reared by a dealer in northern Indiana. There were no phenotypically melanistic females among several hundred females that appeared. |
