Title: Moth Mania 2014
Post by: BlueBee on May 29, 2014, 03:06:08 am
The silk moths are emerging in Michigan, look out  :)

I hope Lansing hasn’t banned me from raising these too  :-D

One of my female Cecropias.  Just emerged tonight.  Really large this spring.

Photo a wild Polyphemus male that mated with one of my captive Poly females.

Unfortunately the mice ate my Luna cocoons this winter so I’ll have to obtain some new stock of them.
