So I'm finally back with quite a bit to say. So much has happened in the last week and I'm not entirely sure where to start. As far as my artist practice goes, I've got a ton of portraits that need developing, and I've collected a fair amount of oddities that need photographing. All this stuff I'll try to post up as soon as I can.
So my luna's pretty much all spun cocoons :D except for 3 and they're all about the same size as when i left. 1 was actually spinning when i left but none died!
half couldn't find leaves to spin with so i have a ton of cocoons stuck on the sheet of paper on the bottom. I hope they're alright. They spun around a lot of poop and debris.
3 spun on the walls of the cage i had them in and they peeled off pretty easy but this one is pure silk
1 pupae fell out of its cocoon but i'm pretty sure it'll be ok as long as nothing eats it and it stays warm. Looks pretty awesome
cecropias got massive! about 5 died tho...
The dubernardis are pretty big too. They got about an inch long and super hairy
Yesterday on the train I finished Picture of Dorian Gray. It's pretty interesting in concept and fun to think about in terms of the arts but all in all the story and characters were just ok. Images on the internet of Albright's painting are pretty terrible reproductions. Fortunately SAIC has it! So pretty soon I'm going to go in and compare it with everything from the book. I'll give a few more words on it after I visit the painting in person.
mesmerizing pictures mate. absolutely amazing! They're so mystical in your photographs, which I think reflects your perspective of them as well. Glad they're all ok!
