How neat is this!
Another great image Linda!

I love following their progress!

I just ran into a woman who works for a local nature sanctuary and she is going to give me some Luna and Cecropia Larva so I can get in the hang of raising them myself. I am SOOO excited!

Love this shot, you really did a nice job!

 
Hey, good luck with the lunas
Hey, good luck with the lunas and cecropias. If you need any help don't hesitate to ask.

Very nice image indeed, the full grown larvae of this species are amazing.

 
hi moth guy
I have been raising this cecropia since the middle of June. I keep wondering where to winter him, I could put him in an outdoor shed or garage. What kind of stick do I chose to put in with him and when? Do I wait til he attaches to move him? Thanks so much for your help.

 
Good morning
Yes, this is truly fascinating! That's great Christina!
