Moth update, eggs!!!!!!


This is a picture I drew of a male moths head on my doodle pad!




I raised some cabbage white butterflies from eggs. Here they are hatching out!



Wow, wow, wow! Look how small the cabbage white butterfly is next to the Chinese oak silk moth!





I love the fluffy bit on their backs.





I was REALLY pleased to capture these images!



The side of a wing, I love the patterns.



They're all over me!!!!! lol



A stunning bunch........



The cocoons.......these amazing pictures capture a moth hatching....


I hope you enjoy them! It was a real thrill to actual see one hatching!



...... shes getting there.....


....and out she popped!



...note how small the wings are at first....



.....now the unfolding begins!



......wow, wow, wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


....fulling out...almost complete!
They hatch so quick and at night that I only ever saw one actually hatching so I'm really glad that I managed to take pictures of this one!!!!
