LOCATION:Conservation Education Center, Kent Park
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=BASE64:<p>We have a small number of promethea moth eggs currently available for adoption.</p>
\n<p><strong>Eggs can be picked up from the Conservation Education Center in Kent Park on:**</strong></p>
\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<span style="white-space: pre;">	</span>&nbsp;Wednesday, May 27th after 3pm-10pm</strong></p>
\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<span style="white-space: pre;">	Thursday, May 28th</span>&nbsp;after 3pm-10pm</strong></p>
\n<p><em>This registration closes at 12pm on Tuesday. More info about pick-up will be sent after registration closes.</em></p>
\n<p>It is easiest to raise them directly on a tree with a mesh bag tied over the branch like these from raisingbutterflies.org: https://store.raisingbutterflies.org/product-p/sleeveblack10w20l.htm</p>
\n<p>These eggs will start hatching sometime around May 29th, so you have a little time to figure out your set-up.</p>
\n<p>Promethea Moth
\nFood (host) plants: wild cherry, tulip tree, magnolia </p>
\n<p>Avoid disturbing a larva that is not eating or
\ntraveling-it may be preparing to molt (takes 1-2 days) &ndash; instead, move what it
\nis standing on. When mature, the larva will void its gut and search for a place
\nto spin its cocoon. Eggs laid in May-June will produce some cocoons that will
\nhatch in 2-3 weeks and some that will overwinter. Keep overwintering cocoons in
\na steel hardware-cloth cage n and unheated building for the winter or
\nrefrigerate in airtight container (November-March). In spring, make sure that the
\nemerging adult has places it can climb to so that it can expand its wings. Male
\nmoths should be released in late afternoon so they can fly and find a mate.
\nFemales can be released at night.</p>
