7/8/2009  I found this caterpillar eating oak leaves.

 

7/28/2009   attaching to a leaf with silk

 

8/3/2009   eating.

 

8/11/2009   It pupated against the glass bottom of the container, surrounded by a net of silk.

 

6/19/2010   I kept the pupa in a plastic container in the refrigerator all winter.  I took it out in March, and this adult emerged.

 

The rest of these came to lights.
