    Yeahhhhhh for you BigAl clap.gif :ivar
    It's an odd looking thing during the morphing process, looks like it's got rather a large body too.

    Bet your over the moon about these appearing on Television clap.gif .
    I'm very happy for you, congratulations .... Skippy

    Thanks Skippy! It is a rather large moth, that's a standard brick that it's on - it started off at about 10cm body length which shrank down to 6cm when I went to bed.

    Having the pics on telly was cool, wasn't in line for the prize though, as I'd put the stuff on Smug :cry

    Thanks! It does look mean, and the skull on its carapace makes it look even meaner mwink.gif Prolly one of the reasons why they used it in "Silence of the Lambs" ne_nau.gif
