1 year after the eggs opened, I was finally rewarded with the emergence of beautiful moths. 2 of them mated - the project was officially a success!

Yukocharter, they are indeed! exciting that the project has come full circle. released these guys, the offspring, in our family woods today- they flew off together through the trees. such a rewarding experience.

Such a beautiful moth. Are these the off-springs of the one you saved after the car accident?
