Luna issue

[brancsikia339]

So yesterday morning my lunas hatched. They haven't stopped hatching and now i got about 25. Normally id be overjoyed but they're not eating anything! They refused sweetgum so i'm trying willow. If anyone else has ideas please suggest tehm. Thanx

ok they wander a lot for several hours

offer hickory and within 2 hours they should settle on the leaves

they seem relaxed on the willow, but they're not eating. They're so scattered that they're dissapearing under the leaves

dont worry too much

within a few days u will see little bits of frass and u will know they r eating

it helps to break a few leaves to release an arousing aroma

Are these Luna Moths you're talking about?

Were they moths or caterpillers? The moths don't eat. They did all thier eating as cats.

they were caterpillars. This was back in august.
