More photos of my beautiful boy! Sadly his wings didn’t form perfectly, but he can still fly just fine!
In fact he spewed some liquid from his rear and flew around when I picked him up which likely means he got scared. I got him to calm down thankfully, but he needs lots of energy for when he’ll fly off to find a mate so I hope he didn’t use up too much.
I’ll be keeping him for a night before releasing him tomorrow night. I still need a photo of the underside of his wings, but hopefully you enjoy these so far!

I’m so blessed to meet this little lady, the first of my 7 cecropia caterpillars from last summer to emerge. I wasn’t counting on her to come so early! I’m hoping to find her a mate, but I don’t know how good her odds are in this neck of the woods. I found her mother in the suburbs about 5-7 miles from here, so I don’t know how many cecropia find their way close to the urban (but still residential) core.
For those wondering: she is every bit as soft as she looks and she sounds like a bird when she beats her wings. Also she has a strong smell; kinda like musty chocolate and old leaves.
If I am fortunate to get fertilized eggs out of this group, I would love to raise the next generation of caterpillars. They have brought me so much joy and I missed them so much during their long pupation.

Moth #2!!! Also Hyalophora cecropia, and she’s a female!
I’ll be leaving her outside overnight and with luck, she’ll be able to attract and mate with a male, possibly mine! I am genuinely so excited about this and can’t wait for her wings to expand!

Cecropia Moth - Mothtober #24
This moth is the largest native specie of North America with up to 18cm wingspan! And it's the first member of the Saturnidae I drew this moth. As the adults don't feed, the moths live about 2 weeks. Apparently they're tasty because they've got a lot of predators: wasps, flies, squirrels, and some parasitic flies introduced to control invasive moth species are also harming them...
About the drawing
I went more blue than brownish for its wing, I don't know why. But it looks rather goof. This moth as so many different patterns and shapes, it was a difficult one to render but I learned a lot with it. I did a simple decor to compensate. I mean it looks intricate but it's faster to draw than some other decors I did.
