Interaction .....soo good

Last year I raised Emperor moth Saturnia pavonia larvae, and I am doing the same this year. Rosie and Dylan are helping me this year, and Rosie and Willow cane round this afternoon to help me clean out the really useful boxes we keep them in,
At the moment this is quite a fiasco, with larvae escaping everywhere as I change the kitchen roll in the bottom and replace the wild rose they are eating,
This is Willow entertaining one of the final instar larvae, while I get on with cleaning.
AT THIS POINT I WANT TO ADD IN GENERAL IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA TO HANDLE HAIRY LARVAE, AS A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE POPULATION ARE ALLERGIC TO THE HAIRS!! WE AREN'T, BUT IT REALLY ISN'T WORTH THE RISK UNLESS YOU KNOW.
