Polyphemus Moth

We hope to show you a Polyphemus Moth in about two weeks. 

I received a call from Lucas and Loudon the other evening saying that they had a Polyphemus Moth Caterpillar.  It was near my bedtime but I decided to go see it.

They suggested that I bring it home and take pictures.  They did not have to ask a second time.  The caterpillar is born in a tree.  When it is ready to undergo metamorphosis, it crawls to grasses.  That is when the boys found it.  In the grasses (Chad's ornamental grass) it forms the chrysalis.

This information comes from the Megan.  She thinks it will take about two weeks until the moth emerges.  Don't I know wonderful people who will share such things?!
