Is it possible to find an admiral's caterpillar or a chrysalis somewhere, on something?

As far as I understand, infected caterpillars change their behavior, they stop hiding. So, healthy caterpillars should probably be looked for at night.
Evgenich, have your caterpillars been brought to imago?

I always found them DURING the DAY!!! on Ivan-tea, sometimes on bedstraw. They are less common than the average wine list. The butterflies I had in my collection were all bred from caterpillars. I found very few infected caterpillars. AGG is just out of luck.

Here's an interesting way to catch the right animals in a well-known bumblebee's nest. well, we'll deal with the bumblebees themselves, but is the animal just sitting in someone else's nest and waiting for us to catch it? probably just hiding somewhere nearby? then it makes sense to destroy the nest.
although I'm probably wrong, correct me shuffle.gif

>then it makes sense to destroy the nest.

You can catch a beetle on bait, but destroying a nest is a crime. umnik.gif

Velleius dilatatus should go for bananas...

Interestingly, what rarities can be found at night with the help of fanarik and savvy?

Collected more than once at night in the forest and in clearings scoop and moth. Only the flashlight must be head-mounted!

Right now, I'm not sure. And in summer, they can often be found among the glued leaves of carp.

Who has observed the caterpillar of the Lilac hawk moth in nature? On what forage plants?

Mostly on the young ash tree.

In the Leningrad region, it was found exclusively on sirena (two species) and snizhnyagodnik (Symphoricarpos albus). I found a lot! smile.gif
