There are a few still around here too but noticeably fewer now. I'm really looking forward to the spring - especially to seeing the polyphemus moth emerge from the cocoon I have brought in over winter!

Some moths do not seem to be hampered by bad weather and cold and I also track someone in France during the coldest periods.
