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.
