I found a caterpillar in Moscow, can you tell me the optimal conditions for breeding a butterfly?.. And isn't it strange for Moscow in general ? I haven't seen a single one in 30 years

The jar is about 3 liters. A layer of loose earth on the bottom. Ivan tea leaves. Tighten the neck with gauze. With the beginning of winter cold weather, put it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. At the end of April, get a jar and put a few long twigs (no matter what). All.

The caterpillar turned into a chrysalis )) What should I do next ? where should I put it ? thank you in advance


PS: I've never seen a hawk moth or caterpillar in Moscow before, so does this mean that next year we can expect years of hawk moth ?

Plenty of them. Just kind of not massive of course, and secretive. And the butterfly flies at night. So you haven't seen them. Answer in the previous message.

This year, the M. O. was particularly "overwhelmed".

There are a lot of them in the Ministry of Defense every year.
If not the most popular, then one of them.

Wine medium and bedstraw hawkmoth can generally be kept on the windowsill and they come out regularly (from my experience in the conditions of the Moscow region).
