Hey - that's my Bumblebee Moth that was playing on my Hyacinths :))) Thank you for showing so many great photos!! I even recognize the crysalis (is that right?). I've seen a few of them around the house... Now I know what they are!!

Congrats on documenting these! I'm not sure if I completely understand the significance of being able to document these moths. In my mind it compares it to documenting the existance of Noah's Ark!! Which would be a REALLY big deal!!!!

Susan--ya'll know how dumb I am about gardening...but I am probably even more so on bugs...er ah insects. Let me get this straight okay? Are you saying you kept the moth babies in your fridge during winter?
That blows my mind!

I just don't get it at all.
And I actually studied biology...made good grades too. But that was a VERY LONG time ago.....haha.

But I am quite impressed with all the documentation work you have done with the moths. I knew you seemed serious about the butterflies and moths but I had no idea how much so.
You really do garden just to feed them don't you?
Congrats!
Wow!
G.M.

Congrats, Susan!

This is one of the moths we see a lot in the summer. My DH always tells me it is a bee or hornet. I'll have to show him the photo on the link and say 'told you so'! lol

I assume that once these are released outside, they will devour some of your plantings (they seem to like our honeysuckles a lot) and begin the reproductive cycle all over again?
