Becky...I've only seen the moths early in the morning...usually when I'm heading out the door to work. Am assuming they come out to play at night around my front mercury vapor lamp which is near the front porch and about three feet away from where the firebush hedges start. The caterpillars are supposed to feed only at night...but I've never seen any in my firebush...but then again...I'm talking about 20 to 30 feet of firebush hedges growing on both sides of my driveway. This is a photo of the firebush from 2004. I usually cut it back to about 15 inches each January but left it alone this year. It is already over six feet tall :o)
