Puss Moth

several larvae, resulting from eggs produced by a reared adult female, which had lured a wild free- flying male into a successful mating were reared to pupal stage in Bromsgrove last summer.  Yesterday the first adult emerged while the other one of my two still waits their turn to see the outside world.

    What is a "wild induced mating"?

    I wondered too. I'm tired out from thinking of so many options that fit the bill

      Excess alcohol induces wild mating in some people (so I'm told).
