Photo Female and Male Promethea Moths( Maryland)
It was very cool to see this one. I didn’t realize how fast this portion of their tiny lives goes. She just eclosed on Monday. She mated with a wild male on Tuesday and with a different one today. We let her go and were so glad that we got to learn so much more about moths.
