Notice the cute face on the thorax, like a kaola bear or something huggable.:)

Are those eggs left by the moth?

Yes, there were plenty of them.

I didn't keep them though. In the first place, I don't know what they feed on. Got this moth because it pupated on the wheels spoke of my chair after I've been out!

Second, I hadn't had any luck rearing this type to adulthood. I saw the caterpillar before it pupate and left it alone till it pupated.

And, ehmm... :sweat: furry cat scares me.
