[QUOTE="The Mantis Menagerie, post: 330889, member: 10981"] In captivity, I have had issues with silkmoths not finding something to climb (how hard is it to find a wall?). I stand corrected on the natural behavior of Luna moths, but I doubt hanging them would cause problems. If you keep them on the ground, then I would recommend using a smaller mesh enclosure. In a large enclosure, I have had issues with moths that cannot find the walls and end up a crumpled mess (the cocoon was even resting against the wall). [/QUOTE]
