[QUOTE="Obie, post: 14325, member: 238"] A lot of them live for a year. But they are only ADULT moths for 1-2 weeks...the rest is spent as eggs, larvae and cocoons. The cocoons are spectacular silk constructions, and the caterpillars are often bigger than a mouse. The adults have no mouth...so they can't eat. They live on stored fat just long enough to breed and lay eggs. [/QUOTE]
