Mason  🏃‍♂️ ✂️

MOTH UPDATE (1/2): all cecropia (bottom half) are doing well; the Patricks appear to be molting (they're starting to turn yellow!) The upper-left 4 had to be moved to other host plants because they HATED the sweet gum tree they were on; I found all of them on the floor

MOTH UPDATE (2/2): Michael tried to fend me off by regurgitating "distasteful fluids" & sadly seems to be all tuckered out lil Tommy seemed to be flagging but looks to be eating now! sadly, Tasha, Riva & Cami appear to be too cool to eat the other poly are doing A-OK

Currently working out deals with random northeastern Etsy dealers for weekly shipments of tree branches because I was brilliant enough to order species that couldn't survive a day out here on their own

I just heard LARGEST MOTH and the rest was muffled out by the sounds of me thrusting cash into cyberspace and imagining a vibrant utopia with lasting peace between man and moth

MOTH UPDATE #2: Michael, who I'd assumed to be a goner, has decided life is worth living Riva has decided mmm OK, maybe I will eat after all Cami & Tasha still don't seem to understand the fundamental concepts re: not starving to death 90% sure tiny Tommy is dead

MOTH UPDATE #3: as of yesterday, both Tommy & Cami had departed this earth. RIP beloveds I left for 24 hours & returned to chaos. 3 of 5 oak saplings were stripped bare & Andy + Visakan were MIA. Ripping my apartment apart to search for tiny bugs was super super fun
