Wild Kingdom, Part Two

TLS reminded me of several insects/animals that I forgot in my Wild Kingdom post. Such as:

• coyotes
• swarm of honeybees (moving from one hive to another - see picture below)
  

In more luna moth news (since I know everyone hasn't been able to sleep just waiting to hear the latest), #3 has emerged. We discovered this one at a much earlier stage than the other two. After doing some internet research the other day, we found out that when they come out of the pupa the wings are brown and very tiny. The moth then starts pushing fluid into the wings and they get larger and turn green. The picture below is a few minutes into the process.

The video, which is probably only slightly more interesting to people who aren't us than watching paint dry, is about two minutes long and shows the wings slowly engorging. You can also hear me and TLS making inane comments, as a bonus. Enjoy!
