Now for the bit relating to the title of this post. The Fox Moth left a present. It laid between 10 and 15 eggs on an eggbox. Since these are safe from arasitic wasps I shall decide whether to rear some or all or see what the reaction on the comments section is.

The fantastic year for Fox Moths continues ..I would rear them all you can release the cats when they hatch or rear them all the way through bet they eat a lot 15 Fox moth cats ....since 2007 they seem to have exploded all over Calderdale, to the point where its common to see this beauty..!!!
Hope you can rear them, that will be interesting Edward.
