Cadre of Cecropia

Sunday morning at pre-dawn, 7 (4 pictured) perfect male cecropias were clustered around this cage, the adjacent deck and screen door. No female was present, but had obviously been there some time before. I caged them all for the day with some egg-laying lunas, to protect them from the birds, particularly the jays, and released them at dusk.
