Oooh I just read that you got a lime hawkmoth - one of the reasons I want a moth trap, because I have found their cats around my lime trees so know they are around!Millymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061349420950897420.post-66992471998328023962015-06-26T03:33:54.829-07:002015-06-26T03:33:54.829-07:00Good selection of moths RR, things have certainly ...Good selection of moths RR, things have certainly improved since the start of the month haven't they!

Its such a thrilling moment and even more special when you have raised them yourself! The moment of release is very wonderful too :) I bet you can't wait for the others to emerge :) Well done too because its not easy raising them. <br /><br />Lots of moths appearing now - its been warm and humid overnight. Had a Lime Hawkmoth last night :) Took ages to pot and thank goodness it didn't escape and fly off into the night! If the weather is the same by you it might be worth trying your trap again.<br /><br />Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061349420950897420.post-70052646853727084902015-06-25T06:35:41.768-07:002015-06-25T06:35:41.768-07:00So pleased the moths are back up and running, migh...So pleased the moths are back up and running, might get a flush of them if the weather stays warm.<br />You will be pleased to Know my first butterfly hatched this morning, we notice the change in colour of the pupa last night and when I got up this morning there was a butterfly... all very exciting it was... it look till about dinner time for it to start moving, then after one photo out of the cage it look of, calmed it down and took it straight back to the release site and watched it fly off....<br />Keeping a close eye on the others, turns out they were Small Tortoiseshell !<br />will do a full post when they have all hatched. Just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help and encouragement, this some thing I will be doing again next year...<br />Amanda xxAmanda Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760505541954557539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061349420950897420.post-13702354969708577402015-06-25T02:16:38.566-07:002015-06-25T02:16:38.566-07:00Thanks Ian :)Thanks Ian :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061349420950897420.post-56372643614895707802015-06-25T01:01:20.577-07:002015-06-25T01:01:20.577-07:00Nice Moth photos.Nice Moth photos.Ian Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407785573213070860noreply@blogger.com
