A friend of mine did it on a cartoon program, I lke it, it makes me 20 years younger... :-)
Haha! Surprising they are eating Lilac leaves, they usually prefer apple trees.

This is one I found on an apple tree!
I didn't have this hobby last spring so I am finding new things. I am very excited. I too found a snake today. HA! Sergio... "you crack me up." HA! And I like your new avatar. Cute!
Carol, I know what you are doing, you are monopolizing the moths and caterpillars market! And you got the most beautiful ones. I am envy, ok?
Thanks so much! They are in a tree that gets shade almost all day and only the late late afternoon sun.
Awesome find Carol! Found one of these guys too; if you want to raise them keep them out of any sun. (Personal experience :( )
