Rothschildia Lebeau Forbesi (Forbes' Silkmoth) - eggs - Rothschildia
Edinburg, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
October 11, 2007
While I was photographing the mating pair I noticed eggs already on the leaves of the potted Ash sapling I'd brought in from the backyard for them to cling to. Seems there was another female on an egg laying mission days before this female eclosed.
