Babies

soft hearted fools beware

here is what happens when your son calls and asks if you want a moth he found in the parking lot at work........and after you hesitate, tells you that it's laying eggs in the cardboard paper box that he saved it to.....

speaks to the mother in you from a couple levels doesn't it?

turned out to be a silk moth

every morning they get fed ... it's getting easier now that they are getting bigger...when they were less than 1/4 inch it wasn't that easy since they could crawl through most everything I tried....including the antique real silk french stocking that I used in desperation one night (don't ask)

anyway...I thought I would share. We've had a lot of them die off sadly (this is not unexpected), but the ones that remain look pretty good. I'm not holding my breath in hopes that they make it till cocoon-dom, but I've been charged with an obligation to try to keep them going.

what's a mother to do?...............
