*bow, flourish* Happy to be of assistance. Lots of people love moths and/or caterpillars, but it's not always obvious how to attract them because different species have different needs. Mostly people think of moth gardens, moon gardens, and that's not always the magnet.
I wish that seed companies would get on the ball with this. Just about everyone has a butterfly garden or pollinator garden mix, but there's no larval food mix. The only exception is the recent rise of monarch blends, which always include at least one milkweed. My favorite has four. But you don't see a mix of milkweed, dill or Queen Anne's lace, clover, etc. There's no bundle of tree and bush seedlings either. It wouldn't be that hard to do, but people don't think of it.
You're welcome!
