My mom and I were watering the garden and saw this THING (two things). I thought that is was a dead leaf, but then I looked closer and it was two moths on a zucchini leaf. I haven't figured out its species yet. We brought them in and we kept them overnight and in the morning we saw it had laid about 95 eggs. One week later the eggs hatched. I kept about 15 caterpillars and I let the rest go. This moth is about half the size of a grown ups hand. If anyone knows the name of this species please let me know.

Wow--95 eggs! And I can't believe your mom let you keep 15 caterpillars : ) It was so great to see you the other day! You are so grown up!
