I am very curious about this little fellow. My children and I just came across a few of them scurrying across the lawn in our back yard in Kamloops BC. Its in the interior and no map I can find puts them this far north. They make a beautiful moth and I would like to encourage them to winter here in my yard if I can. Is there anything I can do to make it more inviting for them?
Ideally you’ll have both a food source for the larvae and a place for the caterpillars to overwinter as a pupa – leaving some leaves on the ground in the yard at the base of your trees would be a good idea because they could shelter under them. If you’ve got some wood, piling a few pieces of firewood might create a good place for them to overwinter.
