Keeping and breeding butterflies

vasiliy-feoktistov,I don't want to argue with you,but everywhere I read that the average wine hawk moth gives a second generation in favorable years

I do not proceed from what I read somewhere, but from my own experience: it does not give us the second generation:....... And it has already been" released " with interest: it was released at the earliest in November.

So "in November" - this is in fact the second generation. Obtained under artificial conditions.

Pupated as always: in early August. In any case, too long lay "before the butterfly". I doubt that this is the second generation.

Hyles galii also collected caterpillars from us in early July and butterflies in early August. This is definitely the second generation.

Hello! I have a few questions, but don't kick me too hard if I ask you something stupid - I'm not an entomologist.

1. Today, on my way to work, I met a woodworm caterpillar crawling across the road. I understand she decided to pupate? What conditions does she need to create at home?
2. Somewhere about a week ago, I pupated 4 harpy caterpillars. How can they create wintering conditions? Will it be enough just to put it in the refrigerator?
3. Now I have a swallowtail caterpillar. What conditions does it need for pupation and wintering?

If you come across the August caterpillars of the wine hawk moth in nature, then this is probably the second generation.

1. Plant it in a jar of sawdust, for example. There she will make a soft cocoon and spend the winter in it. Sawdust should sometimes be moistened.
2. Yes, just put it in the refrigerator, in a jar with moss (sawdust). Sawdust (moss) should be moistened at least once every 2 weeks. Just don't put it in the freezer
3. Swallowtails usually pupate directly on the branch of the food plant. If you want the pupa to hibernate, put it in the refrigerator 1-2 days after pupation. But there is no full guarantee. Development may begin and the butterfly will be born in the refrigerator

Please tell me what to feed the caterpillar of Pericallia matronula?

What conditions should the caterpillar of Pericallia matronula create for wintering?

Hello!

Tell me how to properly store the pupae of diaries, for example swallowtail. Put it on cotton wool in containers or hang it (how to do this)?

I read and reread the forum, but I just don't remember.

thank you for the question,but how to take care of them.I read and reread the forum, but I just don't remember.I remember that time must pass and that's all,but I don't remember what kind of weather,in the sun or in the shade, you need to keep your eggs.

Sorry, but what is the best way to get the machaon imago out and how will it be more convenient for butterflies to hatch?

Can you tell me if the butterflies will hatch this year or if they will spend the winter as pupae until spring?

The cabbage patch laid its eggs on the cabbage.I dug up the cabbage with its roots and put it in water,and the jar with this cabbage in the shade.What's next?How long before the tracks arrive?What to do so that they don't run away.The fact is that after looking closely, I found a lot of eggs there, but I didn't put everything in the jar.

and what if there are a lot of them there and it's easier to put all the cabbage somewhere?
