The caterpillars have a strange color, but why do they sit one at a time in separate boxes?

27.01.2009 22:13, Euchloron

They do not have a pronounced yellow color, probably due to the absence of carotenoids in the feed.
One by one, they grow much better and more synchronously, which is very convenient, since in this case I know in advance the pupation date, how much food to prepare, etc.In addition, with this version of maintenance, there is no need to constantly clean the container with the caterpillar.

and what do you feed? is this the food of each caterpillar on a wooden stick?

27.01.2009 22:16, Zhuk

And what is this substrate on sticks? О_о

27.01.2009 22:17, Euchloron

Yes, they eat it. And very good smile.gif

What's it called? In general, caterpillars can be fed apple peel for a very short time, but there is no chlorophyll in it and they begin to die after a while, but what does this food consist of?

27.01.2009 22:29, Euchloron

A dead head doesn't need chlorophyll. A feed based on wheat germ and soy protein. It also contains vitamins, mineral salts, preservatives, and other substances.

That's right, the coloration of hawk moth caterpillars is often caused by exopigments. This is a mechanism of adaptation to the surrounding background, which makes caterpillars less visible against the background of leaves.

It seems that you can only do it yourself. But the ingredients are quite problematic to collect.
