Photo 1a    Here is a pic of a Cecropia moth laying eggs; more than 10 white eggs can be seen on the bark below the moth. (Up-Close)  We've never seen a Cecropia moth in the wild, and of course, this is the first time for us to see a Ceropia laying eggs. Amazing!  This photo was taken during Matt's Walk for the Curious: Bobolinks and Meadowlarks, w/ naturalists Julie and Karen at Arboretum, Chaska, MN, on June 13, 2012.
