r/moths

Found this Rosy Maple Moth beauty on my porch in Kentucky 💖

fuck ai slop, appreciate real life. can you spot the moth?

So... two of my luna's emerged earlier than I expected. I was a few days away from putting them all in the fridge to overwinter. And one of my (fur) cats started going crazy around the enclosure that was under the table and my husband came to check only to discover a male moth going kinda apeshit on the floor. And i pulled the whole thing out and found a female hanging from the top.

Got him up top and he calmed down.

So... now.. what the hell do I do with the other 30 cocoons? Straight to the fridge right now? Is it too late?

These might have just been my first guys that cocooned back on 9/12.

Pretty sure they’re Wahlberg's Emperor Moths. Their wingspan is about the length of a small to midsize hand
