My first vapourer has emerged, and it’s a boy.

Some of my vapourer caterpillars are reaching maturity now. Not long until pupation now

I’ve had, er, one or two vapourer caterpillars emerge this week. I’ll be splitting them into a few different pots to grow on. I may release some when they get a bit bigger

I’m a moth momma again. I have twice as many vapourer eggs as last year, so I shall probably have to release some of the caterpillars into the wild before maturity

A perfect Christmas present #TeamMoth #rum #VapourerMoth

A vapourer moth cocoon made of some sort of webbing, attached to a window on a rose bush. Autumnal sunshine in the background.

My rose bush was full of vapourer caterpillars this summer. This on has settled up against my window. I have questions if anyone can answer? #moths #vapourermoth #ukmoths
