Sorry, that was supposed to be Pandorus Sphinx Moth. I knew I shouldn't have been in Internet Explorer when I typed that (it misses letters when I type)!

Here is a link that might be useful: Sphinx Moth

Cathy, just dropped in here for the 1st time in a long time. CONGRATULATIONS! You may have seen my message that I found one on my Virginia Creeper. Is it a large cat or small cat?

You can put some potting soil in the bottom of a container (I use the big plastic ones I get pretzels in from Sam's). Make sure you poke some holes in and around the sides of it. Use about 4-5" at least of soil. Or, you can just shred some paper towels. If it is still eating, put some grape or virginia creeper foliage in with it (I assume you found it on one of these vines cuz that's what it eats). When it has completed this cycle (caterpillar stage), it will burrow into the paper towels or soil to begin to form its pupae/cocoon. This sometimes can take a couple days - they are much slower that butterfly cats. I usually kinda gently shake the container to move soil or pt's around to see how its doing. Once the cocoon is fully formed you can then handle it and remove it from the soil or not. Don't be surprised when it wiggles! LOL!

Leave the container outside on your porch/garage, somewhere that is cool - it will winter over probably this late in the year. Put a few skewers or sticks in the cage so it will have something to climb on next spring when it emerges to dry its wings.

Have fun!

Susan
