Luna Moths & More Butterflies!

The luna moths finally hatched at Butterflies of Cape Cod so I had to jet up there to check them out.  And on a sunny Saturday morning, that's no easy feat thanks to the scores of tourists flooding into the area.  They've also found our secret backroads thanks to GPS technology. 

These cecropia moths were much smaller a few weeks ago.  They are going to be pretty cool once hatched!

Lots of monarchs in the habitat.


Sugarbush Swallowtail.


These guys are pretty big and I always wanted to see one in real life.  Very leafy, and not quite as green as I thought they'd be.

Beautiful!!











I love hydrangea.
