Finally! The first Leucanella fusca hatched yesterday. So far, only one and much too late. Normal flight time would have been late May/early June, not this late in the year. But what do you expect with summer temperatures more normal for the end of April. I still have other Spring species that need to hatch. So far, it has been one of my most unusual breeding seasons ever. But hey, at least they are hatching. There is not much to tell about Leucanella fusca. This species seems to be restricted to southern Mexico (Oaxaca) and is rather uncommon. It is not the largest species in the genus. The wingspan of the males is around eight centimeter, that of the females around nine centimeter.
