Description
The first upload showed the first image, so try again. She moved a bit on the brick then started laying her eggs. The day was cool and very windy. The next morning she was on the earth, a few feet below the eggs. She made her last quiver not long after. The eggs are saved and when there is hatching, we have trees with a few spare leaves for the new critters. We will see.

truely fantasticamazing!! first just finding one & then laying her eggs! o.O!
Great capture of surviving nature. Bravo.
They are beautiful these Luna Moths.... missed the first post? Shall go looking for it now...
TomDart to any who are interested....this morning I discovered a bunch of little catepillars. I was totally unprepared for them! Now, they are in tupperware, having made assurances this would NOT hurt the tupperware. These little critters all want to go to the top of the container..even if full of hickory leaves to munch on. Still, not a photo op. When that happens we will see and try to get a decent shot up. (Maybe we should have a babysitter, Tedz.)
Xcellent capture! very good details!
THEY ARE TRUELY BEAUTIFUL AND IAM ALSO LEARNING GREAT THANK YOU
