Location: Durham, NC, Museum of Life and ScienceI am a female Fiery Skipper,
I am less orange than my mate.
We mate on the day we emerge from our cocoons,
Then I lay 50 to 150 eggs.
This was wild, not in museum. The Museum of Life and Science has an incredible pollinator garden. I am pretty sure we saw at least as many, if not more species out there than in the Insectarium. Tremendously cool.
