Eh? It just looks like a normal moth to me... Mind you, my 'puters not great when I try and zoom in on it.

[EvianBaby]

Nah, I poked it gently with a stick. It was definitely one whole thing.

(by the way, when I say poked with a stick it was one gentle little nudge on the wing to make sure it was actually something living)

[rowanwitch]

[gness]

Keep the bedroom windows closed and the lights out tonight Ev. Revenge!!

[rowanwitch]

[tonyav]

rowan, the caterpillars from those things are bloody enormous.

[EvianBaby]

Ahhhhhh little baby caterpillars. The one thing my boss has a fear of. It's always fun to watch a big butch man turn into a quivering wreck.
