The Luna Moth. It was my first and only time seeing one. so beautiful! Unfortunately I can't raise them right now because I don't have their host plant.
I found a grey moth that fit in the palm of my hand once. It was north american and I'm not sure what species it was. A question for you: Are there any moth species that remain venomous/poisonous into adulthood?
Last night a mama landed next to my head on the siding of the porch behind me at my Tennessee Smoky Mountain AirBnB. I was delighted to witness her contracting and laying eggs! She’s still there this morning 😍
I keep hearing that Luna Moths are rare but I’ve seen wild Luna Moths a few times now. I’ve never seen these ones. Both are gorgeous, of course! But these look unreal!
Beautiful! When my daughter was little, there were butterflies at the zoo with the eye markings similar to these moths. She refused to go near them. She called them "scary eyeballs" LOL!
My automeris IO moth laid eggs on the 1st through to the 3rd. I have about 200 eggs. This is my first time doing this, I am very excited. Your video has helped me tremendously! I’m just waiting on them to hatch!
I don't know why I didn't find this chanle sooner maybe because youtube any way I am so happy that I did I loved it so much this is gold I will support this channel in the future . also I think its entertaining to watch and I get some really great information that is hard to find or know about thank you so much you made my DAY :3
Thanks for the interesting videos. I live in Florida and I have a butterfly garden. Planted a bunch of host plants. I have red ixoras and have seen these caterpillars on them. Maybe I'll pull them in next time and raise them. Super cool.
So cute and fluffy!! I love them. ❤ I have found some on my Mexican passionflower vine. I live in Jalisco, México. The caterpillars are black and turn bright green. The green one we thought was a different species until I found your website!! Thank you so much! This video has helped a lot, because I am worried and want them to survive. We are surrounded by chickens and I don't want the larvae to be eaten when they reach L5 and wander...
when i get older i wanna be like you. in fact i already have two pet moths! i have an io moth and one im not sure of and idk how to take care of them and im still a bit scared of them
Great moth cycles as always ! But I was wondering, since this species has been seen on so many food plants, when presented with a variety of different plants, how do they "select" one ? Do they have taste buds ?
I found one in a parking lot and took it home so I could watch it grow into a moth and release it. What should I feed it for the time being? It's very big so wouldn't surprise me if it cocoons soon
Umm this is random but my mom got me 6 luna moth cocoons and 12 polyphemus moth eggs if you se this could I have advice. I'm only 11 and I just started looking at this channel so I don't know if you already posted a luna moth and polyphemus care videos I will go check them out.
If you’re not getting monetized, your only other options are to keep trying for donations, or make a new RUclips. I’d sub and I’m sure many others would. RUclips is all about monetization, but you have to do it their way. Market your next channel better.
I tried but hardly 300-500 people move over to a new channel. I'm gonna keep using this one. Atleast now I have huge creative freedom since I don't need to worry about being advertiser friendly. I'm getting support from fans though :)
Why wont they monetize you?!! Is there an appeal process or anything? Thats insane and you absolutely deserve it. So many bad channels or ones just cranking out click bait, even ones with extremely inappropriate crap animation from other countries labeled for Kids when its kid characters but are XXX content that magically gets monetized! There has to be a mistake or an appeal process? You have enough subs I would think, you work hard have many videos and i dont see anything inappropriate enough to get you demonitized, whats their problem?!! I subbed today and watched the whole video, amazing work and lovely moths :)
The biggest moth I ever found was a elephant hawk moth and we let it go 2 days ago and I’ve just ordered some death heads I’ll get them when it’s somer which is odd coos I’m only 10 and I have exotic moths and I’m saving up for the rare large tortoise shell and a good place to buy butterflies ( not sponsored or payed I just like them) and moths is world wide butter flies you can buy atlis moths Luna moths death heads io moths
Don't you have to worry about inbreeding? I was always told you can't pair moths from the same brood. I raise giant silk moths and never breed mine together and always release them away from my home.

The Luna Moth. It was my first and only time seeing one. so beautiful! Unfortunately I can't raise them right now because I don't have their host plant.
The biggest was the cecropia moth I found a cocoon and the biggest I’ve seen out of cocoon is Polyphemus
@@saturniidmoff damn, cecropia must be amazing to find

"They can handle the cold, they're not pussies"
what a great line for these guys
Wonderful! The Io Moth is absolutely one of the most adorable moths. I’m fortunate to live in their native territory.
They say Redbull gives you wings. I think this can be considered true in this case lol
Feles Lucis - Emanuel de Araújo lol

Do you still raise these? They are a bucket list species for me!
32:40 The beautiful monologue. I love it so much. Yes, I agree. 💯

Thank you for your educational videos! I am wanting to educate children.

Hello Bart, great, great, great! 👍👍👍😀

Will you raise them? Good luck!
I found a small male Io moth today!!!
They are so beautiful I wish I could see them in Minnesota
Leah Sannel I have them where I live!
Do you ever have citheriona throw up all the time and not die but never reach full size?
maybe they are sick?
@@BartCoppens I dont think it's the common virus most of them get like cecropia cocsidia . It may be chemical drift
I fear them a lot 😂
Aww! They are so adorable!
Did I see foreshadowing in the intro
I'm in SW Florida and I find them on my red ixoras.
when i get older i wanna be like you. in fact i already have two pet moths! i have an io moth and one im not sure of and idk how to take care of them and im still a bit scared of them
FIRST!
Very cute moffs!
yes Bart the ones in Florida prefer Erythrina.
Hi Bart I just subscribed, I love your content, have you thought about having a papilio troilus linneo ??? How difficult would it be to get it?
Here from UPDT! Great channel :D
just ordered some of these ❤
7:15 Super scientific RedBull can with water for the fresh branches. Low tech is best!! 🎉
Great moth cycles as always ! But I was wondering, since this species has been seen on so many food plants, when presented with a variety of different plants, how do they "select" one ? Do they have taste buds ?
Yeah, they can smell/taste
can you do a moth and butterfly size comparison???.........
I found one in a parking lot and took it home so I could watch it grow into a moth and release it. What should I feed it for the time being? It's very big so wouldn't surprise me if it cocoons soon
YES!
Umm this is random but my mom got me 6 luna moth cocoons and 12 polyphemus moth eggs if you se this could I have advice. I'm only 11 and I just started looking at this channel so I don't know if you already posted a luna moth and polyphemus care videos I will go check them out.
I don't have luna but I do have polyphemus!
I am getting some Spanish moon moths atlas moths and scarce swallowtail soon.
I have io moths where I live :)
I thought you said its poisonous how from 1 to 4 you touch them?
Bart if u like moths u should play “flutter starlight” u can down load it
True, and Flutter too.
Hae Plays I LOVE THAT GAME! IT IS SO FUN!

I'd be interested to know if instances of the 4th instar being yellow could be a diet factor?
How do you take care of your caterpillars with you are out in vacation?
The biggest moth I ever found was a elephant hawk moth and we let it go 2 days ago and I’ve just ordered some death heads I’ll get them when it’s somer which is odd coos I’m only 10 and I have exotic moths and I’m saving up for the rare large tortoise shell and a good place to buy butterflies ( not sponsored or payed I just like them) and moths is world wide butter flies you can buy atlis moths Luna moths death heads io moths
I wonder when the next video was is coming
I think Bart has stopped his Chanel either from covid or just stopped it permanently
wwb is overpriced to be honest, you can try searching on actias.
Don't you have to worry about inbreeding? I was always told you can't pair moths from the same brood. I raise giant silk moths and never breed mine together and always release them away from my home.
10:17 there in a what space? LOL
