Leopard Moth: Eggs Day 12

Category: Leopard Moth from egg to pupa to moth | Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 1:59 pm

4/1/13 Day 12. Sorry for not posting yesterday! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. more of the eggs are turning brown :D Yay! But my dad has to paint the outside of the house today, because we are going to be moving. I want to scrap the eggs off before he does but I'm afraid I might kill them. Do you know if I can do that? Or will it kill them? Thanks for answering if you know! :)

If you scrape them off now there's a good chance that none of them will hatch. If they're all turning brown can you see any signs of the caterpilars inside the eggs? I would imagine that they should only have a few days left before they hatch and then you can move the caterpillars somewhere more convenient.

I noticed the eggs changed shape, maybe it's just the caterpillars forming. Thanks Eileen! I'll think of a way to save them before my dad powerwashes them off :(

I would take a razor blade scraper and take off a thin slice of the siding if possible. That way you could move them without harming them and it wouldn't hurt the siding at all.
