Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: We found these in our back yard- my kids collected over 40 in a short period of time. Hot, dry weather. They are everywhere. I literally had watch where i stepped, because they were all over the concrete and plants. I also would like some information on if there is a way to take care of them. My kids are fascinated with them, and I would love for them to see the process of them turning into a butterfly/moth, whichever they are.
