What to do with Peacock moth?

Community and Forum → Insects breeding → What to do with Peacock moth?

On Saturday night, I bred a Peacock's Eye. And she still has crumpled wings.
And tonight, from Sunday to Monday, I laid my eggs. What should I do now - I don't know anything about butterfly breeding. And don't you need a male to lay eggs?

In order for the butterfly to spread its wings normally when hatching, it must hang down for some time with its back down, so that blood flows into the wings. To do this, put twigs in a container with a butterfly. Most butterflies are not able to walk on glass, so its wings are not fully spread. Many butterflies do not need a male to lay their eggs, although the eggs will be unfertilized and no caterpillars will come out of them. The laying of eggs by many butterflies that do not feed in the adult state is a step that portends the fastest death.

I was told that peacock eyes have partogenetics - does the pear tree belong to them?

Nope!

what exactly?

I mean, they're like humans. And males love females so much that they fly in clouds for 10 km.

well, are there any other parthenogenetics, or are they full of books?

I can't say for sure about the tropics. But ours are all normal.

Here are some other reasons why peacock eyes don't spread their wings:

1. The pupa was removed from the cocoon;
2. The cocoon was stored in inappropriate conditions (low humidity, failed stratification, etc.)

This is interesting!
Do butterflies always not spread their wings when they are pulled out of their cocoon? And then what humidity does it have to be for her to get out of it? And anyway, how does she get out of there, apply enzymes?

RippeR: just the head end of the cocoon has a silk thread structure that allows you to push the cocoon walls apart from the inside with a little effort.
