Elephant Hawk-Moth (caterpillar-nymph-moth)
1 Attachment(s)
I found this caterpillar last year (Sep 4th, picture above) in my
garden. When I did some digging in May this year I found the nymph (May 10th, picture left) about 3 meters from where I had seen the caterpillar. According to advices over the internet, I kept the nymph in a glass inside the house. The full butterfly evolved on June 10th. I was surprised by its beauty. I had leaned some sticks into the glass before, so that it could climb up. It rested on the hazel-stick the whole day and flew away at night.

Well done. Thanks. I've found 2 other nymphs recently. - They're currently sleeping peacefully in the very same glass vessel. I hope to get some nice shots again in spring. :) |

I am glad to have a 21 year old daughter. I would have loved to have had a 30-year, happy marriage, but I guess it just wasn't "in the cards." I'm still open minded, though! I'm sorry for your loss. 8^)~~~~~~ Sue (remove x to email) ~~~~~~~~~ http://suzie-q-wacvet.com/ http://intergnat.com/malebashing/ |
