Cat,
Such terrific postings of the raising, and capturing the wonderous activities of those adventurous male moth. Look at the trouble, distance he travels to find his mate ~ that's amazing. This summer I happened on this couple. For 2 days, I thought they were brown fallen leaves on my brugs cuttings that wouldn't be blown away by wind....a closer look. Viola! These beauty were mating like you mentioned over 24 hrs. A beautiful experience to see them, from there I'm more and more aware of the butterflies' wonders! I'm now a proud Momma to- be- of a Tersa Cat. :-)
