Last Monday, while browsing at Salem Country Gardens, a watched a Mouning 
cloak oviposit on a weeping pussy willow tree. Since it was a 120 dollar tree, I 
couldn't very well break off the twig she layed on, so I gently scaped the 
eggs off and took them home.

Hopefully, they'll hatch. Now what to feed them ...I've been told willow is 
the best but I have no ready suppy. I do, however, have a ton of birch. 

What do you normally see MC caterpillars feeding on?
