Another double emergence day with once again the male coming out early and the female showing herself later. We put the male outside in beautiful sunny 12C conditions mid morning and he was gone by early afternoon but later spotted (18:00) resting in one of our mulberry trees just above some New England Asters still in bloom. Female emerged one half hour before sunset! This is the latest I have ever had one emerge. (I always use natural light for raising larvae and chrysalids) She rested overnight and is still resting. I am not putting her outside until the temperature has warmed up as it is currently 5°C at 9:00. It is sunny with almost no wind and forecast to be a pleasant next couple of days with daytime temperatures in the 20s and lows around 10 so her journey will hopefully go well.
