This specimen was collected in the ditch. I originally had 5, but 2 got out of the habitat I built for them. The small one in the bottom pic was white at first and turned yellow like the rest. The one by itself has turned a brownish color. I believe it is a Phragmatobia lineata or Lined tiger moth. I hope that is what it really is, because it is a cool looking moth. None have yet made a cocoon.
