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

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 fun1 reply 0 retweets 19 likesShow this thread -
MOTH UPDATE #3 (cont.):
Andy & Visakan were found desperately climbing furniture. They are traumatized. God forgive me
I underestimated the caterpillar appetite & etsy dealers seem unable to grok the severity of the situation or why a random person wants a bunch of leaves1 reply 0 retweets 21 likesShow this thread -
So basically, I'm going to have to drive to a state recreational area where — legend has it — oak trees grow, surreptitiously harvest them w/o getting caught by a ranger & hope to god the caterpillars will accept a slightly different food species. These are novel problems for me
