I took a big moth off one our cats that was just beginning the unfurling process and put it in a bush by the back door. It was fascinating to watch as the wings spread over the next 1/2 hour. Didn't have a cam available to capture it, so thanks for these pics. I found where it had come from too, there was a 20mm dia hole in the ground near where the cat got it, must have been in a chrysalis down there for god knows how long. There were several more hatched in the same area, just after a couple of wet days.
