Unlike last year, there are six--seven, if you count the one from last year that never eclosed.
Here's hoping they have better luck this time...and it would be even better if I could get pictures.
Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.

Better Luck this Time (I Hope)
Walking our "woodland", I, again, spotted a dried leaf hanging from the spicebush that I put in many years ago. From past experience, I know that it contains the pupa of a moth...remembering which one is always an issue for me. After (yet another) web search, I suspect it is a Polyphemus moth cocoon.
