these hawks, like eagles, do not breed in captivity, but they do not mate immediately and not always successfully. You need experience. It is better to choose a simpler object, for example, a bear or a cocoonworm or saturnia - the first two should hatch from pupae.
And these hawks can feed on a weak solution of honey, but here you need to pull out the proboscis with a needle and dip it in honey. It is more likely that this is a female-her belly is thicker and, most importantly, her whiskers are thinner.

I put a piece of cotton wool with a solution of honey right over it, and it seemed to start bursting. I don't know how to pull out her proboscis - she doesn't want to sit in her hands, she tries to get out. In short, I will try. On the street, she doesn't care - the grape leaves have fallen off. Autumn is here, it's cold. I have been using the heater for the children's room for three days now.

We'll wait until the second one, and then we'll be able to compare the photos.

Well, how long do you plan to keep them alive, 5 days, 10? Do not torment the hawk moth and yourself. Spread out, the memory will be for you and your children. And you have a powerful cage, you have prepared for breeding on an industrial scale.

I fed him honey water today - I definitely drank the cube. In general, I can impute this duty to the janitor and he will feed manually ( with pleasure) as much as you need. By the way, how much do you need?

I'm not ready to straighten it yet - I don't have any knowledge in this area, so I think we should train on something smaller.

Sadok made in 15 minutes from a suitable cardboard box. This size is due to the fact that it had a car seat for my son. I don't know which dimensions are correct, I improvised them.

Congratulations!

a cage of the most correct size - and the butterfly has a place to turn around and look at this miracle for itself, well, this is taking into account that you are not fighting for every square cm of your "odnushka" on the xxx floor of the dorm

artificially prolonging the life of a butterfly that lives for several days makes no sense (if you do not do this professionally). either "euthanasia" or release her to the street - there she herself knows what to do

I also wrote that I have another hawk moth that pupated 3 days later. I'm waiting for the release date today. If they are of different sexes, can we hope for something? I seem to have solved the problem with nutrition - I force-feed with a toothpick. Or do you think that there is no chance of mating?

I apologize to everyone in advance!

I didn't know that he was "handsome" and even more so endemic. I have a lot of things flying around in my yard. The nurse called her son, said, look-the butterfly is sitting. So I took a picture of her. The butterfly was already "ripe", I think this is a suicide photo.

This isn't the second caterpillar - the second one hasn't appeared yet. We are waiting, sir...

It seems similar to the previous ones, too.

Unfortunately, Oleg, I can neither argue nor agree with your definitions - the level of knowledge does not allow.

He probably is, just a blonde uniform. Sometimes they have brown and green forms. But there may also be a second species, say, with brown hind wings. The caterpillars of the Malgassian hawk moth are very little studied and therefore known individually.

What kind of tree are they eating? The problem for me is that the grapes have almost dropped all the leaves. Autumn in the southern hemisphere...

06.05.2013 22:09, El Cazador

I think it's something out of Parthenocissus. And your pets can also feed on grapes on Galium, Epilobium, Linaria, Daucus, Rumex, Lonicera, Fuchsia, Impatiens, Galium verum, Colocasia esculenta, Parthenocissus.

The second hawk moth came out last night. I really hope it's a male. He just has to be, otherwise the experiment will fail. The janitor Mbula is notified that if successful, he will receive a cash bonus. To achieve this goal, you can use any methods: massage, aromatic oils, sorcerers, etc.

I put a branch of grapes in a water bottle in their enclosure. I fixed it firmly so that it wouldn't swing.

Here's the second one:

At the top is the darkest caterpillar (it was a third smaller than the others in size), in the middle three very light and green at the bottom. Light and green ones were the same size (photos are available-I already published them above).
