WE CAME DOWN THIS MORNING TO FIND A POPLAR HAWKMOTH
CLINGING TO A CALENDAR ON THE SIDE OF THE KITCHEN CABINET.
THE PICTURE IS OF OUR CAT GIBBS WHEN HE WAS A KITTEN.
NOT SURE WHERE THE MOTH CAME FROM OR WHY SHE
CHOSE TO LAY HER EGGS IN SUCH A STRANGE PLACE.
WE DID EVENTUALLY PUT HER OUTSIDE.

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing thing to happen, John and Sue!!! Have you got a suitable tree nearby to put the eggs on? Poplar, Sallow, Aspen or Willow would do.It would be interesting to watch the caterpillars develop!

If I came downstairs to this discovery I would be a happy man! I hope that you are able to place the eggs somewhere that you can observe the ongoing development.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed amazing to find this Moth laying her eggs on the picture. Hope you will be able to see the outcome of it all.
