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!

Besides playing guitar and singing, I love art, 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'm teaching art and sharing music, with the goal to inspire others to recognize their talents and realize their dreams. View more posts
