Mostly Moths 2019

No pic as I went out without cam but saw my first Convolvulus HM today which came in overnight to a local big reserve's moth trap ... was thrilled to see it, such large eyes!

I found a quite dishevelled (at the time) Tiger Moth on the grass by chance this morning. I carefully collected it and it has started to lay eggs this afternoon!

How lovely Sandra, well rescued from this dreadful wind, are you going to rear any that hatch?  Eggs same colour as that poor mangled one you tried to save last year!  I don't get GT here!

Good info here ... m.wikihow.com/Care-for-Woolly-Bear-Caterpillars

I don't think I have the right plants for any hatchlings to feed on

Likely cos you have a very neat & tidy garden! Lol Plenty of bit & bobs in mine!
This is a better link ...www.wildlifeinsight.com/.../

I wouldn't say neat and tidy! lol
You'll be very welcome to the eggs if you would like them. She's continuing to lay... :)
Thanks for both links Wendy

Thank you, would love to be able to rear through to see this beautiful moth emerge next year ... like the Oak Eggar the species overwinter as caterpillars then grow to pupation size next Spring ... bit of a challenge to keep the habitat just right through the winter!

An update with my Tiger Moth. I'm not sure if she is 'still with us' as she has been in the same position since this afternoon

Possibly was injured or exhausted by that very strong blow Sandra ... lots of eggs, have you counted them?

Just shows how strong is the desire to reproduce, poor thing was laying eggs with her last breath. Will you have the eggs Wendy? Could you put some into nature once they are hatched & feeding.
