Arge Tiger Moth - Apantesis arge
Puppet the Silkworm Moth
Or newest "pet" Puppet on my finger. She's a female silkworm moth. My mother who is a teacher grew silkworms in her class, and they all became moths, mated, laid their eggs then died. This one however didn't find a partner, so she came home with us. If they don't mate they live for about 2 weeks, although my mom has had some live for almost a month in the past. If they do mate they die the next day. They don't eat, don't fly.... a rather pitiful living being. They are bred in captivity so much
