MOTHS

GUYS MY FRIEND RAISES MOTHS AND HER FIRST ONE OF THIS YEAR JUST EMERGED!!!!!!

They raise cecropia moths, which are native to our region! They’re super pretty!!! This first one is a female, so they’re releasing her. If they don’t, they’ll end up with hundreds of caterpillars. Surprisingly, even though she just emerged, she’s already mated and laid a couple of eggs, which they’re gonna keep and raise next year :) these moths only live a few days as adults because they, like all other members of the family Saturniidae, don’t have mouths!! This setup is designed to let males stay inside the mesh, and wild females can mate with them to help add to the wild population.

"Hi Butterfly, I think I'm fine!"
