Emergence Day!

I just looked under the flannel this morning, not expecting to see much, but instead I saw this!


Three moths have emerged, and two of them (at the top) are mating already. They seem to exude a sticky substance when they come out which stick the cocoons together so I am going to space the rest out, and also try and check them in the early hours which is when they tend to emerge. I wonder if it was the damp flannel that did the trick. No doubt I shall write more on this later, but in the meantime here is a little film...
