Female Promethea Moth

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

I found that one of the two promethea moths (that I found on sweetgum when I was feeding leaves to my luna moth cats) had emerged from its cocoon this morning, a female. Prometheas are odd in that they 'call' during the mid to late afternoon, which will be here shortly. I sure hope she gets a visitor!

Female promethea moths look like a smaller version of cecropia moths to me. Here she is from the side, where you can see her big body, filled with eggs, I expect -
