Kabby, a lot of moths do not possess mouths making them unable to feed. They get by on the energy they consumed as a caterpillar, but do not live very long. Their primary goal is to mate. As for the caterpillars, we just raised a batch at the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, where I volunteer, and we fed them wax myrtle.
