mailbox moth


The tent caterpillars are beginning to leave the safety of their tents. (See April 23 posting) They are trundling about everywhere. The ones that survive the birds will find secret places to spin their cocoons. I found one cocoon in my mailbox. Talk about special delivery, but this may be against U.S. Post Office regulations, so mum’s the word. OK?

The adult small brown moth should emerge in about three weeks, about the time the next issue National Geographic arrives.
