I came into the museum one morning to find a big ol' moth in a tank. Turns out it was a Polyphemus. I didn't know until I checked the bug files that they don't eat once they're an adult. I felt bad for it and put some flowers in the tank for it; I was wondering why no one had given it food. Silly me! I did notice all these little pellet-like things and I figured out this week that they must have been eggs since we now have a tank full of the eggs. I'm not really a "moth" person so I don't know as much about them. But this one is definitely a cool-looking dude.
