Look what I came across today on my travels- a Helena Gum moth (Austrocaligula helena ) caterpillar! What a chunky grub and they have such beautiful red feet! Hang on, do caterpillars have feet? Technically have segmented true legs with 'knee' & 'ankle' joints that end in claws. They may also have pro legs which are not segmented & end in stumps. I stumbled across the moth stage of this species earlier in December. Both caterpillar and moth are very eye-catching. See if you can spot any in the G

Part 1 of becoming a moth. Luna moths love sweet gum trees. They are eating the leaves roughly the same time that bi-color boletes are fruiting at the base. I often wonder if there are connections between the moth and butterfly larvae stage and mycelium. Mycelium sometimes become beautiful mushrooms and larvae sometimes become beautiful, flying creatures. It feels like a similar life cycle to me….AND THEY USE THE SAME TREE. | Gretchen Testa

It’s National Moth Week! To celebrate, here are two different angles of luna moths as they painstakingly cut their way out of the silk cocoons they built as caterpillars and overwintered in as pupae! Adult luna moths (Actias luna) have a unique way of emerging from their cocoons using sharp “spurs” at the base of their wings. Most of their giant silk moth cousins rely on an enzyme known as cocoonase, which they secrete in order to melt perfect escape holes from their cocoons. Luna moths use this
