Our Moth Observation Hatchery

  One delightful day we found a caterpillar on our toolshed. It was a beautiful green color with spikes all over it’s body. It slowly crawled up under the eave and made a cocoon (right next to our bird house not the best spot) it was up there for what seemed like months. Then it finally bloomed out of it’s cocoon, it was a huge moth! It hung upside down to dry it’s wings. Then a bird came and knocked it on the ground. The bird was tiring to eat it! It was injured but we still went and carefully brought it to safety in a near by fern. Sadly it still did not live.
