Polyphemus Moth Caterpillar

I was raising 3 different species of Saturnid at the same time. Darn well drove me nuts. Those things eat like wildfire.

For more pictures and a photo journal of raising these guys (and see how beautiful the hatched moth is) please go to:

Wow it's huge! I went to that site to see the pics. I never seen a moth like that before. It actually looks pretty kool. I should get my niece a couple those. We teach her about animals and we have gotten a few caterpillars from the Butterfly Farm.

i save catapillers from near to death situations i feed them untill they make a cocon (sp) then when they come out of there cocon (sp) i keep them for one to two days to let them get some strengh for thoses 2 days i feed them in water with sugar in they drink it themselfs then i release them so they can mate but they usally mate in the 2 days i keep them i just love seeing them fly of knowing i saved them
