If one that ecloses is a female and you want to see males, cage her and she'll
call in males from long distances. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ2buk9DdIk

{}-->John Froeschauer brought over to Kentucky Manor last summer, Promethea
Moth eggs (he raises them) and 21 eggs were placed on a Wild Black Cherry. The
eggs were stuck to the sides of a paper sack and two areas with eggs were cut
out and attached by clothes pins to branches of the cherry. When they hatched,
the caterpillars could then just walk out onto the cherry. They hatched, but I
never could find caterpillars. Fro said to look for cocoons when leaves were
off as then they are obvious. Today, cleaning in that part of the yard, looked,
and there are six cocoons, most are low in the cherry, but one is near the top.
It is interesting to note that in Bug Guide it states that the females are
drawn to lights, but the males are not. Wonder what makes the difference?
