The Great Fozzie Release

Even though the weather is getting colder, we figured if Fozzie is to stand any chance, s/he needs to be released as soon as possible. So, we tried, but Fozzie wouldn't fly!! We left and came back several hours later and finally "he" flew off!!

Lubee Bat Festival

Today we attended the Lubee Bat Conservancy's 4th Annual Bat Festival, and enjoyed learning about bats, what they eat, how they echolocate, and about the water cycles in general. We saw the bats in the conservancy and both P & K remarked on the smell. They also created their own bat art.

Goodbye Eva

It seems that Eva has died. Fozzie and Wally seem to be doing okay -- Fozzie is now still in the cocoon, though we can still see his caterpillar body.

More Caterpillars

Wooly Bear Caterpillars from our yard, North Central Florida. Favorite food is this weed:



Black -- Giant Leopard Moth (Fozzie)

Fozzie is now spinning its cocoon!! Very exciting to watch. Now the wait for the moth to be born. We are concerned that it'll come out when it is too cold, though.



Orange -- Virginia Tiger Moth (Wally)


White -- don't know. Just molted to be black top and orange bottom! (Eva)
