This one is probably the most similar to your S. pavonia, although it is quite unique in some ways. I think you'll find S. pavonia much easier to rear than these guys. Albos are notoriously tricky. :-)

I've raised quite a few of these now, and I've learned to watch for the "signs" of molt preparation. As they approach the end of each instar, their skins are stretched tight. They need to sit idle for at least a day a more as they grow a new skin under the old one, and then start to detach from it. When the old skin starts looking white-ish and baggy, I set up the camera and keep recording/reloading tapes until it starts. The molt only takes about 15 minutes, and I frequently miss it!
