David--

Do moths have a pupa stage or a "caterpillar" stage? Are they something else before becoming these beautiful things? What do the eggs hatch-to-be?

I have a really large brandy sniffer glass container. The first thing I put in it was a snake skin I found when i was working amid 14 greenhouses for a Grower--(1990?). It is full of all kinds of dead critters----mostly insects and moths and Locusts, and whatnot....One of the moths is also a big one--and so beautiful!

I have a picture somewhere of the Moths--big and small......Now to go find it.....
