Keeping and breeding butterflies

Help me, who is it???

- Legumes, e.g. elm, alfalfa.
And where do they grow?Can I have beans?

Please describe the breeding procedure,

I flipped through the entire forum and read book 1,it was a long time ago,and there is no time to reread a bunch of pages, so answer?

I don't have a garden as such(just a 3-liter jar,or at least a balcony).You said that you need to plant in a cage with a forage plant.And it should beat the living?I want to train on hawthorns,I was told that she "lays eggs" on cabbage.And again, do you need live cabbage,or just put a leaf?

Please tell me what I should do with it.

why can this caterpillar eat nothing for a long time and not move?

I found a beautiful caterpillar on grapes today.

Grapes don't grow in our lane

I have hawk moth caterpillars and pupae. I found something strange in the ground today. What kind of animals are they? And are they parasites? Is there any way to remove them?

It's not entirely clear what the problem is. After all, caterpillars do not live in the soil, but on a forage plant? Throw out this soil and that's it.

Breeding specialists, a question for you!

I received eggs from a female swallowtail in Altai. Three caterpillars have already pupated, and the rest are also on the way. Whether the butterflies will hatch or go to winter quarters. Swallowtail collected at an altitude of 2080 m. There it is clear that one generation a year, because on July 4, snow fell, right where I caught it on July 1. But in a warm apartment probably can hatch butterflies of the second generation?

And another question, here is a suitable crust for pupae made of foam with cotton wool at the bottom. Or do you need something else at the bottom? Should cotton wool be sprayed from a spray bottle every day, or should it be used less often?

Hello! I have a pupa of a medium-sized wine hawk moth on a thick layer of gauze.I moisten the gauze about every other day.Please tell me what I should do to create ideal conditions and is there a chance that the butterfly will fly out this summer? It looks like a favorable and hot summer...

Make a hole in the ground with your finger, put the pupa there, and sprinkle it with finely torn toilet paper on top. Important: take the cheapest paper and without any flavorings! Well, moisten the ground regularly. The butterfly can come out in winter. But now it's unlikely. As far as I know, it does not give a second generation.
That's how I deduce it:

In favorable years, there is a 2nd generation. Apparently, this year is just like that.

Polskajite, pupae of cocoonworms, saturnia and other butterflies whose caterpillars make cocoons, can be removed from the cocoon and removed without it, carefully cutting the cocoon with small scissors, or is it better not to do this?

Quite likely. I was able, however, to get it at the earliest in mid-November. And this year is generally freaky: C. sponsa is rushing in herds where it has never been before, etc. I'm no longer surprised

can you remove it from the cocoon and remove it without it, carefully cutting the cocoon with small scissors, or is it better not to do this?

tell us what to do with a swallowtail pupa. ...Sorry, there's no time
