Daily ritual

First thing every morning I change the emperor moth caterpillars leaves. They eat brambles.They are very fat.

Amazing capture. Love the color contrast

Do you do this will all your moths? Where did you get the caterpillars?

[Dreich]

@bette No, maybe when I retire. These I found when I was in the Lake District with two Drinker moth caterpillars which are also obese. Some have such specific requirements ie they pupate in the roots of some plant or other that it is impossible. It is quite enjoyable and of course the emergent moth is always in mint condition.
