I used to SNATCH them just before they spun
into their cocoons... It was awesome watching
them spring forth to a new life!

They are just so beautiful and fragile, and as
soon as they hatched, and crawled on my
fingers (I was a teen) - I would then take
them outside and they would then try their
wings. Sometimes I would end up with as
many as 7 to 11 of them all hatching at once.
*laughs*

And they flew away free to a flower that
attracted them.

Its sad that they have such a short life span!



I wished they could live forever and have
no known predators!
