I did not know there were moths that big! Sounds like you had fun keeping busy with these little fellows during your recovery! It's amazing that humans can take comfort in raising any species...not just mammals, herps, and fish, but even moths!

It is so true, Shannon! They provided me so much perspective and distraction! I am allergic to cats and dogs, so therapy caterpillars it is! ;)

You are one interesting woman! Are you originally from KS? That moth is so flipping amazing. I'm very impressed by this whole story. We have snails... who do not have kerplops, but have the many, many emoji poop swirls. lol

Haha thanks Abby!! I am originally from a farm in Oklahoma, but I live in Kansas now. Snails sound SO CUTE!!! And like they probably move at a more manageable pace than these pre-cocooned caterpillars!! :)
