No WONDER the wings are so perfect and untattered. This is a gem.
I once found a "pregnant" Luna under a lamp post at work. I brought it home with me and it laid eggs on our drapes. I scraped them all off the fabric and put them in a jar. They all hatched and I brought them their favorite food, and was imaging them all pupating and emerging together...but every one of them died during molting...wiggling them self off the end of twigs. Such a tragedy. #9341093
