The summer passed and it became sad.Everyone is preparing for winter, burning the leaves...beautifully.
I always have a lot of grass cocoonworm caterpillars in my dacha,at one time I collected and bred them,sketched cremasters(everyone turned out to be different)...
They are so nice, the caterpillars are different! Sometimes very shaggy,sometimes not so much.Maybe we should address this issue? I read that the species has become rare.

We had a lot of unpaired silkworms a few years ago, but now we don't have a single specimen. And we also had a lot of Calosoma, and now either not, or the number is minimal. But it seems to me that human intervention played a big role in this. Previously, we regularly planted sprays from unpaired trees, and they disappeared. But then the oak leaf wrapper attacked, so attacked! And it's even worse than it was. So not always natural fluctuations in the number, but the truth is if the human factor is considered not natural smile.gif

Yes, apparently, this topic is for a narrow circle.

In general, the summer, of course, has passed, but who left what insects "for maintenance" for the winter?

AND SILENCE...

And I have a praying mantis left, an earwig and a spider Scitodes.

Vo! And who kept the earwigs at home? Their behavior, however, is interesting-homing-caring for their offspring.

21.10.2005 23:38, Tigran Oganesov

Yes, without homing anywhere, it's in their blood, you know, to homing...

I left a belyanka pupa for the children, hoping for a butterfly.I was too lazy to read biology,but I should have. Now it's blackened weep.gifand withered because of my negligence weep.gif

And what was your fault confused.gifJust "the goose was sick, and when it pupated, it died completely" frown.gifthis happens. And not Cory ... myself.

And who is strelchatka Zaychik? Unfortunately, many people (including me) do not understand Russian "equivalents" very well. You can somehow call insects more scientifically. By the way, I propose to discuss the question of Russian names of animals, using the example of insects, in a separate topic.

One more question. Sagittarius bunny pupated, now alive. I left it on the balcony to spend the winter confused.gifIn the book only about the years written, there is a second generation (years July - September). So maybe her butterfly is wintering confused.gif

You can't leave it on the balcony for the winter: it will die (see the topic "Raising caterpillars in captivity"). The ideal option is wintering in a cellar in the country or similar conditions. If in the city-then in the refrigerator. Remove the pupa should be with the onset of frost below -5, because -10 is no longer bearable.
The butterfly in Apatele does not overwinter, the optional autumn generation freezes out. Perhaps, in the south, the offspring of the second generation have time to develop to a pupa before autumn (although I don't know exactly).
I have A. alni and Cerura vinula pupae on my balcony right now smile.gif

My butterfly Apatele leporina L hatched smile.gifon April 1. I didn't remove the pupa. I left the jar on the balcony. I have a box of earth there, I deepened the jar into the ground and covered the chrysalis with pieces of newspaper, also covered it with earth in a layer of 6-7cm. In the most severe frost, I came to my senses and threw a coat on this structure. A week later, I was afraid that she would suffocate, so I put my coat away. On February 2, I regretted it and brought it home, and here is a butterfly, a good healthy one. smile.gif

Oh, how it used to be smile.gif
At me here since last summer now only the pupa of a euphorbia hawk moth in principle remained, in a terrarium lies, live.
I don't know if anyone else is doing something like this, or if everyone has already gotten too serious?
