  1. ...and eggs! Posted 2 years ago
    1. Don't think the eggs belongs to this particular Moth, there are practically thousands of moths that showed up at the light trap and didn't observed this one laying the yellow cluster of eggs. It is quite common to see eggs on the light trap and even newly hatched caterpillars after a few days! Posted 2 years ago
      1. Very cool! My head would probably explode from excitement if I mothed in Malaysia. I love seeing your moth pics! Posted 2 years ago
