Thanks! It is almost time to start watching for them
again this year - once spring decides to really show herself
in our part of the world! Snow in the morning for the last 3 days.

Beautiful....
Not a "stop-over". They overwinter in pupal stage.

Fel2Norak In reply to duggiehoo [2010-12-12 20:40:58 +0000 UTC]

I would like to find one emerging and watch its' wings unfold and dry before it's on its way. Do you know what I should look for?

Thanks

May not be the exact species, but the cocoon looks similar.

Thanks much for the info.
Don't think I want to send away for any
but will be on the lookout for any cocoon's like these - would really like to watch one come out into the world.

Pretty.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought at first this was a drawing.

Thank You!

We have these beautiful moths around our place every year - we must be a 'stop-over' of some kind.

I wish I could draw - but stick figures are usually the best I can do
