Four species of moths out - including the little-known Bulls eye moth

A Madagascan bulls eye moth has emerged after two months in its cocoons.  This striking moth has a huge pair of fake eyes on the hind wings.  These wings move from side to side in a scissor-like motion when disturbed.  Last night, two were seen to be pairing meaning that we might be a able to breed this species this season.  Other moths of note out this week are the long-awaited male Comet moth and Antherea frithii silk moths.
