Hmmm.  I don't want to donate to ants!!!  Have done plenty of that here in
my house.  They ate a pupae while it was still alive.  Bleah.

HAH.  THe zoo, the nature center, several friends, a school, already
have some - that's where the *OTHER* 100 went!  Maybe I should stand at
traffic intersections like those charities do and hand them out...  :-)

Fred died in late winter.  I guess regal moth pupae weren't meant to make
it through two winters.  I buried him in the backyard.
