Has anyone read about or seen for themselves, Luna cats, that pupated together, in the wild?

It is interesting how the behaviors of captive insects will be different from live ones.

I only recently saw my first Luna. It was one of the most awesome things I have experienced.

Living in a suburban area most of my life, there weren't enough wooded spots for them to come to.

When I stayed in the mountains, we saw them regularly.

On the first time, we were trying to train my dog to find my daughter. She would go into the woods with a treat and I would command him to stay until a certain amount of time had passed. One time, my daughter came back early, but with a female Luna. I decided to let it slide and the training was done for the evening.

I was amazed when a male came for her the following night. I saw him coming from quite a distance and he actually found her in her net cage! I have seen males come to females the same way, when I placed the girls in certain trees near the home.

They have an awesome sense of smell!

If only it would work that well when I put my female Stagmomantis carolina out in a net cage. Lol!

At least your sister didnt throw a juicebox on and crush a female cecropia being stored in the fridge
