Here is my lights set up at my Mother-in-laws place in the country outside of Smiths Falls, Ontario. I set up and collected Friday and Saturday nights – May 28 and 29, 2010. There were a lot of different Sphingids coming in both nights, with a nice hatch of Two-eyed Sphinx on Saturday night. I did not see any Silk Moths on Friday night, but on Sat., first a really beat up Polyphemus came in and then about 5 mins later a beautiful, female Cecropia came in. I kept here alive and she is in a paper bag right now – she should lay between 100 and 200 eggs overnight, then die. I will try to raise those eggs, but it might be hard on the boat.
Ready for the night to come.
Couple of young potential collectors … with ice cream for bait.
Set up at night.
Waved Sphinx (Ceratomia undulosa) Bunch of these came in on Friday night.
