and the second caterpillar shrank about 3 hours after the one that became a pupa.But the problem is the first one is already a pupa, and the second 3 days somewhere so hangs.Maybe the problem is that it hangs upside down, and not normally like all swallowtails?Then how do I turn it around?

and I have tears on my cheeks literally.I took so much care of them, nurtured them,fed them,listened to the food crunch in their teeth, and my little brother crushed the pupa.What should I do, there will now be only 1 butterfly, and then if it will be

Keep the pupae away from your brother.
I don't see any cracks.

Oleg, the caterpillars need rest. No need to rush them, tear them off, stick them on. Be patient and raise your younger brother.
If you want to turn it over, then turn it over together with the substrate.

In the Crimea, they meet somewhere until mid-November, but I don't know about you, I think so. By the way, you would fill out the profile, or something... shuffle.gif

Hello!There were problems with the pupa of the silvery hole.I have it in a plastic bucket of dirt.I left the bucket to my grandmother and apparently it was a big mistake.She watered the bucket every day When I arrived two weeks later, I found some white fungus on the ground.Unearthed a chrysalis:it was hard(the back part of the body could hardly be moved with your fingers) and did not move.What did Grandma do?Maybe this species likes dryness and needs to be watered less often?Please help me before she drops her skates completely! weep.gif

She watered the bucket every day ..... Maybe this species likes dryness and needs to be watered less often? Please help me before she drops her skates completely! weep.gif

She must have died long ago, suffocated from too much moisture. It is absolutely not necessary to water the bucket. And it is better to keep it not in the soil, but in sawdust or moss, which you can spray a little from time to time.

Well, she did not water from an open bottle,but made a tiny hole on the lid and watered through it.
And the caterpillar was buried in the ground from the very beginning, and there was nowhere to get sawdust.Can I wrap it in cotton wool?And spray it every day?
Or can I just throw it out?(
One more question.I wrapped my hawk moth in cotton wool and spray the cotton under the chrysalis with a spray gun every day.Am I doing everything right?

20.09.2011 8:37, okoem

Well, if the soil is moldy, then the water is too much.

20.09.2011 22:52, Бражница

But after all, the wine hawkmoth likes moisture and I'm afraid to over-dry it.What should I keep it in?Please advise me!
As for the hole, I do not know.How do you know exactly if she's alive or not?

20.09.2011 22:53, Бражница

What about the moss:I am now in Moscow and mokh here to find a lost business

21.09.2011 14:21, vasiliy-feoktistov

What about the moss:I'm in Moscow now and finding moss here is a lost cause

What about going to a park somewhere to pick it up? You can always find it.

Araschnia levana pupated on July 23 and 24. I was waiting for the pupae to be blown out in August, but this didn't happen, didn't they go early for wintering at the end of July?I take it butterflies wait in mid-April?

I didn't bring out any wine. But, in general, I put my pupae on a layer of cotton wool, cover them with a second layer of cotton wool and put them on the balcony. I do not moisturize, the air is already damp in winter. At least 90% overwinter normally.

At the end of August, a Moth Moth caterpillar pupated in a jar of milkweed. Since the Milkweed began to mold, I put it in another jar, the pupa seems to be alive.

Hawk moth wait this year or not, and if not, in what month of spring to wait?

What conditions should be created for it?

Keep it warm or cold?

Put it in a cool place for a few months, then put it in the heat and wait for the butterfly.

For a few months, that is, until spring?

I collected these caterpillars in October. They crawled along the road. They are preparing to pupate. I put them in a jar, put the leaves of a houseplant on top, since then they lie curled up in a ball and are not going to pupate. What's wrong? Maybe they are not fully fed? What to feed then?

Good afternoon!

Can you tell me what you need to do so that the butterfly hatches after the pupa is removed from the cold place? Put in a sunny place and continue to moisten.

Not necessarily until spring. After all, you can also add it to the heat in winter.

Don't feed them anything. Put it in a cool place until spring. They will start eating only in the spring. Feed it with plantain, for example.

It is absolutely impossible to put it in a sunny place. Put in the heat, moisten and wait for the butterfly.

Good afternoon! We found a moth moth caterpillar in August. Here's a photo. Fed for 10 days, grew very much (up to 8.5 cm), then pupated. At first it was light, thick and actively moving. But now it's completely darkened, hardened, and doesn't move. Was she dead? We put it in an eraser container with earth on top of gauze. The earth was covered, it came to the surface. We spray it from time to time.

Well, if it came to the surface, then it probably didn't die. wink.gif

Do you need to put the swallowtail cuckoos in the ground?

27.10.2011 9:25, vasiliy-feoktistov

Do you need to put the swallowtail cuckoos in the ground?

No, absolutely not necessary. This is a 100% ruined butterfly. Like this swallowtail in nature pupates.

dear friends, help pliz.
I was folding a tent at home after a trip, a caterpillar fell out.
small, about 17-20 mm, green with brown. I didn't think to take a picture, damn it ((
I put it in a plastic container, I put everything as food, and parsley with cabbage, and all sorts of grass from lawns... I ate parsley, I ate cabbage, and something else...
and this morning I look - a light brown pupa. yesterday I almost didn't move, and 3-4 days before that I was actively moving and eating a lot, I significantly increased in size.
I wish I'd come across your site earlier... but what now then.
now we need to somehow overwinter her. but how? balcony, refrigerator? what is the photo and water mode?
can you tell me how to decide? sorry for the traveler.

ps is supposedly "captured" a little south of the Voronezh Region, on October 3-4 in the grass of an old apple orchard...

thank you.

Good evening! At the end of September, a swallowtail caterpillar escaped from the cage in the apartment. I thought she was dead. Tonight I go into the room, and there... I don't know what to do with it now... confused.gif

Can you tell me how to make a swallowtail eat? wall.gif She hasn't eaten for two days, I made her a solution of honey in water... confused.gif

01.11.2011 12:40, laada

yes, this is also a likely factor. Where and how this species winters in nature If in the litter, and on the balcony it was in the light, then this may be the reason.

Water in a bound state in an organism cell has slightly different properties than ordinary water in an open source
, and not only because there are solutions, the electrochemical parameters of water change. as far as I remember, the orientation of dipoles can be different and so on..

01.11.2011 12:42, laada

eh

I listened to the food crunch in their teeth,

That's cool!) wink.gif smile.gif

Try carefully holding the folded wings near the breast to bring the butterfly to the container with the solution , straighten the butterfly's proboscis with a wet wooden toothpick and lower its tip into the feeding solution..

No problem. Well, Happy New Year to you and congratulated "Vinny sredny"smile.gif.
The method of removing it is simply checked repeatedly.

This kind of hawk moth is just so crazy: in winter it can easily come out in artificial conditions.
