Caripeta aequaliaria
Pero morrisonaria
Antheraea polyphemus This male was a caterpillar last summer, I raised it with seven others and two Anise Swallowtails, two of these and one of the Swallowtails emerged today, this one and the swallowtail have flown off but I will keep the female to see if I can get some eggs. The Polyphemus females don't feed as an adult and emerge full of eggs, around fifty, tonight she will release pheromones and the males will come around. The host plants are Oak, Willow and Apple, I raised them last year on wild Crabapple that happens to be in the front yard, it's nice and bushy this year from all the pruning that happened last year from feeding the caterpillar's. The Anise Swallowtail's where on Bronze Fennel as a host plant.
