Started a moth cat rearing which is very interesting. I found an emerald moth cat that takes parts of plants and flowers then decorates itself as a plant mimic. This one was on a Sennae plant with yellow flowers and it had decorated with yellow petal parts and other debris. I placed it on a small non blooming plant in the cat house. But it started to loose its yellow color as the petals dried. So I placed a double purslane bloom nearby. Within minutes it had moved to the flower and redecorated for "Mardi Gras".
Still wonder how and where it will pupate.
