Tried to feed,,, the trunk did not have to get out, he turned it around himself(how long it is!!!)and I drank it myself,,

A week ago, I also found a butterfly in the house (small firefly Anania hortulata Linnaeus, 1758). Also, out of nothing to do, I fed her a pear and gave her a drink, only it was all for nothing frown.gif. They won't live to see spring anyway. One consolation: you can get a little pleasure from communicating with nature when it's snowing and freezing outside.

...I drank it myself...

... and says:
-- Wai devushchka, kanesh thank you for the bread and salt, but pachimu however did not read molbiol before?! Here pachitala would - I would know, but I have to sleep for another three months. Wai-wai-wai...

And how many times a day should I feed him??Please tell me,,,

02.02.2010 23:43, антони

sps for good-natured banter))I read that to sleep,,, its three months,, I say the same took out the Christmas tree (the pupa was on the balcony))and got to see,, not cleaned in time,, and she is already a butterfly,, I know very stupid and irresponsible,,, but already there is something to eat,,, How long do they even live??

Anthony, since the butterfly is doomed...try placing it in a place with a low temperature. For example, in the refrigerator, where the temperature will be near zero, but not lower. The butterfly will fall into a state of suspended animation, the speed of metabolic processes will decrease to a minimum. It is possible that it will last until the warm days.
Many diurnal butterflies spend the winter in the adult stage, and this is the norm for them. True, no one has ever done such experiments with hawkmoth (as far as I know). Can try. If you decide, write about the results later - everyone will be interested.

And if you feed,,, then there is no chance at all until spring??

And if you feed,,, then there is no chance at all until spring??
If you just feed them, first of all, hawkmoth do not live long (see posts 11, 12), and secondly, even if it lived, then by spring it simply will not have wings left to fly away, it will be shod. There, in the photo, he's already crippled. You can try to keep it in the refrigerator and from time to time take it out and feed it.
Without food in the refrigerator, I think it will not live long, this is not a wintering nymphalid.

Question: on the second day, butterflies begin to break and fly around their wing tips. Humidity and Tpa. What to do?

Prick on the first day, while still fresh.
And if you want to keep them, then - butterflies are gentle creatures, obbivayutsya quickly. There's nothing you can do about it, in my opinion.

On April 17, I accidentally found a butterfly in my attic. I feed her every day with a 10 % solution of honey and water, sometimes I buy nectar. A butterfly lives in my room, sleeps on the curtainjump.gif, is active during the day...) She lives with me for more than a month and is completely tame. This kind of butterfly we have in Siberia, I have not seen (I live in Irkutsk), I can not even guess where it came from. Tell me, please, can anyone come across such a view? How long do butterflies live? Please share some information smile.gif

Papilio machaon is. About the information: type the name in the search and learn a lot about it (there was already enough written on the forum) smile.gif

If I'm not confusing anything, more than a month ago it was February, not April.....

Please tell me what to do with the urticaria butterfly. I found it in the snow. Tried to feed, does not eat. do I need to put it in the cold?

27.03.2010 15:39, Dmitrii Musolin

Butterflies usually eat only syrup-sweet water. In hlolod-there is no sense, because their diapause ended in December, now there should still be a stupor before the temperature rises in nature....

Hello! Please help me! On March 25, I found a caterpillar crawling through the snow. I brought her home, put her in a flower,gave her the leaves of various houseplants, but she doesn't eat anything!I do not understand butterflies and their caterpillars,I can only describe it: it is dark brown with hairs, about 2.5 cm long, no spots, but the hairs differ slightly in color (some are lighter)thus, it seems to be in a light brown stripe, but it is not very noticeable, 16 legs. mzhalko if she dies.I don't know how it ended up on the road,but it was a miracle that it wasn't crushed.maybe it's better to take it somewhere?I don't think I'll find food for her right now frown.gifuntil it's almost winter... Advise something, please!

27.03.2010 18:59, pollyholly

the hairs are not long.and the stripes are longitudinal.today I noticed that she went " big " brown.maybe I've had enough of earth.the leaves are all intact..I don't know what to do.

27.03.2010 19:05, vasiliy-feoktistov

A photo of your caterpillar would be necessary here and then it may be clear what to feed it and what to do with it.

27.03.2010 19:25, pollyholly

unfortunately, there is no way to upload a photo,but I found a very similar caterpillar on the Internet.here are the links! http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/hrusha10/vi ew/18924/ http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/fresh-06/vi ew/252715 / only mine is smaller, not so thick

Where did you find it?

27.03.2010 19:40, pollyholly

she was crawling through the snow,there were no trees nearby, which is strange..maybe a bird dropped it..

27.03.2010 19:41, pollyholly

Yes no (geographically).

27.03.2010 19:42, pollyholly

Does it look like Arctia caja? at you. Try to sprout a sprig of willow (I fed it on it), but you found it a little early (will it work?). Can anyone else advise that.

27.03.2010 19:56, pollyholly

here is the caterpillar in the last photo very similar to my

27.03.2010 20:39, Evgenich

If it's Kaya, then we need to find mother-and-stepmother. This is her food plant!

27.03.2010 20:40, vasiliy-feoktistov

the caterpillar in the last photo is very similar to mine

Here is the caterpillar on which I think, if this is it-then do as I said and stop guessing on the coffee grounds posting not your photos (better get them out of here)umnik.gif.

Yes, she eats everything (and dandelions). It's just that willow is the easiest to get and it feeds on it properly.

"Brassette, give me everything!" (C) (KF "Hello, I'm your aunt")
This is a polyphage that will eat almost anything. Very good food - forsythia, but most likely it is not yet in your latitudes. You can give dandelions, plantain, mother-and-stepmother.
All this stuff comes early.

Only here there are still no dandelions, no mother-and-stepmother, no plantain in our m. O. And Uglich will be more sown.
