the moth is finished! i think this is the most detailed piece i've ever done.

i want to fill in the back of this vest with more embroidery eventually. i think my original sketches were of wildflowers and stuff that's native to jersey.

Moths can be beautiful like Cecropia Moth (Hyalophora cecropia) and Marbled Emperor (Heniocha dyops)! I hope you guys like it. ^^

@greenix submitted: no IDs needed, just some charming little guys from work! our cecropia caterpillars are working hard at building their cocoons :)

I love them all! Big fan of skippers in general. I hope all the cecropias emerge successfully!

I’m so blessed to meet this little lady, the first of my 7 cecropia caterpillars from last summer to emerge. I wasn’t counting on her to come so early! I’m hoping to find her a mate, but I don’t know how good her odds are in this neck of the woods. I found her mother in the suburbs about 5-7 miles from here, so I don’t know how many cecropia find their way close to the urban (but still residential) core.

For those wondering: she is every bit as soft as she looks and she sounds like a bird when she beats her wings. Also she has a strong smell; kinda like musty chocolate and old leaves.

If I am fortunate to get fertilized eggs out of this group, I would love to raise the next generation of caterpillars. They have brought me so much joy and I missed them so much during their long pupation.
