I caught two of these amazing moths mating on my farm in Alberta, near Lavoy. The one of them flew off, but one of them stayed. I caught it, hoping it was the female. How do you tell the difference between male and female? Also, what do you feed it?

Thanks,

Katelyn:)

P.S.

Please reply as soon as u can!

Hi, Windyhill!

Greetings and WELCOME to the site! I just moved your question that you had posted in Introductions to this forum topic area so that it will get better exposure. I do note that you already received a couple of responses while your question was in introductions.

Introductions is for people to introduce themselves and we try to not ask questions there.

It can be a little confusing when first learning how to use this site! Your question will get noticed much more in this forum topic area.

We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little about yourself though, if you would be willing to do that.

Thanks!
