Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Imperial Moth Eggs
One of my co-workers found an Imperial Moth ( Eacles imperialis) at work today. I put her in a box and took her home intending to take some pics before turning her loose. Well, while in the box she decided to lay some eggs! This has me kind of excited as these are some truely beautiful moths and the catepillars are wicked cool too. Anyone else rear moths/butterflies?

Eggs are developing nicely! I can see the caterpillars developing nicely.

Now that is cool, Dan! I love seeing those moths here at night. Did you release the 'pillars or are you raising them yourself?

Thanks. I'm giving a couple to a friend so his son can watch them grow and then I may split up the rest, releasing half and keeping half. Haven't decided yet, but I think there's too many for me to keep. Especially once they start getting bigger.

It looks like you have them on a maple leaf. Do they eat maple leaves or are they very picky about what kind of plant that is offered to them?

They didn't seem to eat the maple very well. I tried some oak and others. I think the main issue I was having was keeping the food fresh enough. I was having to change it twice a day. Eventually they all died  . Lessons learned and hopefully I'll have another chance.
