We are raising some larva right now though.<br /><br />http://lilachavenfrenchangoras.blogspot.com/2011/08/just-hangin-around.html<br /><br />This is the second time I've had the opportunity to obtain some eggs-both time by chance.

I was just comparing your images to those of my final instar HHD, and those spines are definitely more pronounced and branched on your youngster, but they still exist, albeit to a lesser extent, on the final instar. I anxiously await the day that I'll see the Royal Walnut moth in person! -HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791185232391134319noreply@blogger.com
