Description

I'm not sure if I have mentioned this before or not but many members of the Saturnidae family, that is the giant silkworm moths, will lay eggs regardless of whether or noth they mate. As a matter of fact the females emerge as adults with eggs ready to go. Such is the case here with one of our African Moon Moths (Argema mimosae). The down side to this is every morning we find eggs all over the place and they arn't easy to get off windows let me tell you.
