Anyone interested in Cecropia?

[Emmayct at cs.com]

I'm raising several  Cecropia moths at the moment. The cocoons have just 
begun to eclose.

I set up an enclosure to put the adults in and am hoping for some mating to 
occur and hope to get eggs to raise for next year.

Well I messed up with my cage design and it allowed one poor little fellow to 
get caught in between mesh layers and by morning he had died. He must have 
used up all of his energy trying to escape. (I've since revamped my cage to 
prevent this sad event again.)

Well, he's a beautiful specimen for an educational collection if anyone's 
interested.(Not the biggest I've seen but very fresh.)

I'd hate to see him have died in vain. I can't bring myself to just throw him 
away! So beautiful.
