Other than the Luna Moth, I also breed 2 other species of Saturniids, the Hickory Horned Devil Moth and the Cecropia Moth (will be posting pics of these soon). For now, here a little "diary" of whats been going on lately with my Hickory Horned Devils. 
Note: The caterpillars of this species get HUGE. They grow to about the length of a hot dog, and become thicker too!! :blink:
adult moth
underside
mating pair
eggs, the darker ones will hatch in a few hours
1st instar caterpillars. When they hatch, they are already about 1/2" long! :blink:
I will be selling caterpillars very soon. (they feed on sweet gum also)
