I'm thinking more about the life cycle of these cinnabar moths. It's quite remarkable. The eggs get laid late spring and take about 2 weeks to hatch. The caterpillars eat for about a month through the summer. They then pupate, and wait.

And wait.

And wait.

They wait through all of Autumn and Winter and early Spring.

Then, the adult moths emerge to mate and lay eggs and the cycle starts again.

They're dormant as pupae for about 10 months of every year!
