Puss Moths, Cerura vinula

My thanks to Bob Bayliss for hatching these Puss moths, Cerura vinula and alerting me to their emergence.  For size comparison it is Bob's thumb above.
Click on any picture to expand it.
This is a male with undeveloped wings.
He approached the female but she was having none of it and ran away.  Perhaps it was too light.......
Thanks again Bob, for showing me these fine moths.
