My son found a large, beautiful moth flopping around in the dirt.  He 
thought it was dying, didn't want ants to get at it, put it in a jar.  
Sure enough it's dead, but surrounded by roundish egg-looking things.  
Moth has shiney eye-spots on wings.  A beauty.  Can we take care of her 
offspring?  What plants do they eat?  Help, help.
