me thinks it`s "moth time" again

Post by ock »

well the weather is warmer and the leaves are growing on the birch trees, so I think it`s time to take my little tub of moth pupas, which I breed last year, out of the fridge, where they have spent all winter, and put them in my moth cage and wait for them to hatch )c( )c( )c(

when I put the cage up in our living room I swear I could see a tear of joy in Mrs Ock`s eye, bless her, she must be overwhelmed with both joy and excitment all in one {hug} , she has the same look when she stares at my animal skull collection {hug} )t'

What sort of moths are they?

I remember when we were trying to lay cushioned vinyl and it was "maybug time" (I doubt if the forum will allow me to call them cockchaffers). They kept landing upside-down on the glue while it was waiting to get tacky. They couldn't right themselves, we couldn't reach them, but if we didn't get them they made a lump in the floor
