I have successfully raised at least three generations of Pyralis farinalis in my compost box…
Oh. I suppose that’s not really what you were asking about, is it?

I do. I’ve raised monarch, black swallowtails, wild indigo duskywing (quick turnaround), cecropia moths (takes a whole year), Luna moths.
It’s really neat but it does take work.

It’s a knot grass moth. The typical pattern on the sides is not visible, but the hump is kind of recognisable. I’ve always wondered how this species rests in such a weird position. I’d be in constant back pain if I were to do that!
