UL - Cecropia moth caterpillar starting to spin cocoon (overwinters)
UR - the female moth & remnants of brown cocoon.
LL/LR - she is joined by a male - his feathery antennae detect her pheromones from about 1 mi away!

After they mate, the female lays about 100 eggs. Adult moths live about 2 wks.

A large pond full of male and female mallards (large ducks). The males have dark green heads, yellow bills, and a silvery-white body with dark feathers along the wings and black on their rumps. The females are a mottled brown all over, with grayish heads and bills that are more of an orange-yellow
