The larvae - cocoons - moth sequence has been interesting to watch. most of the larvae all spun their cacoons at the same time, there was a seperate nest of 3 larvae which didn't turn until the next day. I find it odd though that 6 daysafter the first moths emerged, they are still emerging, usually 1-3 a day, with, as far as I can see 3 more to go?
Do you think this has to do with the weather (very warm but windy when they started but the last few days have been very wet and much windier) or, to lessen the chance of them all being eaten in one sitting as their wings dry out and are vulnerable and more obvious being white and unable to fly immediately?
