Last summer, 2021, I featured the caterpillars of Citheronia regalis, also known as the Hickory Horned Devil, in a live-stream video. Now the first moth has emerged, known as the Royal Walnut Moth. Raised indoors in Arizona on Rhus trilobata (three-leaf sumac). See the live stream video and be sure to look at last year’s videos to see the massive caterpillars that make this species famous!

I love learning about art, music, science, and history. I attended Tyler School of Art (Temple University) in the 1970s, and then spent many years as a prototype sculptor for the fine gift industry. Recently I went back to college and graduated in 2025 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Liberal Arts from Northern Arizona University. Now I look forward to teaching art and sharing music, with the goal to inspire others to recognize their talents and realize their dreams. View more posts
