Attacus atlas

Ripper, your phraseological units delight me! If you still remove " padonkskaya (correctly said?) You will be able to write inimitable masterpieces in your vocabulary!

But what to feed the Atlases, I do not know

Like Korney Chukovsky, I need to write such sophisticated novels and novels for children.. We recently read his poems - I don't think I've ever tried drugs, but if I did, I'd probably write something like that.. Although it is necessary to blow for a long time or eat mushrooms and have fun with peyotes, then something like this can come out, because this is not just a parish, but a gift!
I'd better start with the attacuses, and then I'll go eat mushrooms.. By the way, I love mushrooms, but the writer's gift has not yet woken up, so far only tyranny.

Yes, Chukovsky was clearly our entomologist Now, when my wife reads his poems to her daughter, I myself have a great talent for pleasure! And from what he wakes up (blew, grunted, or something else) - everyone has their own, IMHO.

Try contacting Mikhail Berezin at the Moscow Zoo ( http://www.moscowzoo.ru/get.asp?ID=C100 ). They breed atlases and bring them to our biofactory exhibitions, for which I am very grateful to them.

RippeR, this is a very deep misconception that if you use drugs for a LONG time, it will contribute to the development of creative abilities and help you write a masterpiece. As a rule, everything happens exactly the opposite... If a person is inherently talented, then drugs can really help him for a while to create things that he would not be able to do without it. But this is not good - such a person simply drinks all the moisture from the source of his talent, for example, for a year, although the source could beat all his life if it were not used so wastefully. You have to pay for everything, including for the mobilization of their creative abilities - then such creators from drugs usually go through the deepest creative and just life crises, on this basis, everything often ends in suicide...
If you still allow substances into your life , then you should do it with understanding, although the longer I live, the more inclined I am to believe that ideally this should not be done AT ALL. For example, the mushrooms you mentioned are such fun that you can then take a very long time to collect your unfortunate roof piece by piece, and never collect it completely in the end... The same grass, damn it, "harmless" grass, with constant use turns life into such a boring, lazy, apathetic, completely unmotivated thing that you sincerely forget about how you could once experience joy from the simple pleasures of life...
May the respected Bolivar forgive me for the offtop-I just decided to speak out, since it was a speech... Believe me, Ripper, there's nothing better than doing something you really enjoy!!! I'm talking about entomology, essno. So don't repeat other people's mistakes

Attacus atlas sort of eats a pear.

Chukovsky from mushrooms ryzhiki, white, boletus, opyatki ate, maybe under vodka (and then in moderation) and lived his life to-o-olguyu. And he'd never even heard of psilocybes. Real talent doesn't need hallucinogens or stimulants. (Sorry, Bolivar, sorry, verzeiung for the offtop)

Necrocephalus:
Thank you so much for the instructive digression. But, in general, I do not use anything and do not intend to (moreover, I do not even drink or smoke) - I lead a healthy lifestyle, run after butterflies

Morozzz:
Thanks!
Kurt Cobain stabbed and shot himself-BUAHAHAHA!}

Atlases are best fed with plants from sem. Olive trees - Lilac, Privet, Ash. I bred on lilacs. Eggs are laid for 7-14 days. Do not over-wet the eggs. And also - When there are caterpillars, do not allow water to get on the leaves, the feed plant should be dry (that is, alive, but not wet). Otherwise, they will die from an intestinal infection.

I grew it on lilacs.
In addition, it has quite a few forage plants (polyphage), but.........

Can I find out who currently has Atlas pupae?And which one exactly?)

Grow it on lilacs.On the tarantula, I read that one of them was brought out of pupae.As far as I understood, it was in a terrarium with high humidity.But to suffer with caterpillars....You had a bad experience with Piri,so you decided to kill the Atlases?

You can't just leave the poor things to die! You have to try, try and everything will work out! The bad experience with Piri was just stupid - I sprayed the plants from time to time, kept them in a relatively small container. In general, simple ignorance killed those charming girls, but now there is more experience, which means that the chances increase significantly.. Moreover, Shastik connects to me, and with him we have X2 more chances. By the way, of those caterpillars I gave him 3, 1 he brought to the pupa!
So, if you manage to dilute it, you are guaranteed an atlas in the collection.

What a rumor that is. Shastik brought one caterpillar to the pupa, this is when, when he was in Moscow, or when he arrived and received from my hands the finished product that I fed for 1.5 months. And he took a smart guy and plugged the pupa into the collection, taking it out of the cocoon at the same time, not to create conditions, so he ruined my work

Come on.. The same was not atlas. And one piri for the collection can be stabbed.. no big deal

What a hit-and-run!!!Afiget!!!I'm embarrassed!!!And angry!!!Trindian!!!So before I left, I nursed the most difficult period myself.They were so small that it was even scary to breathe in their direction, and those were given by Trofim at the stage when it was in the hat.So don't brag about it and give me a hard time! I konesh could not take the caterpillars with me, we have here at the station cling, I would have to buy a ticket for the caterpillars, they are as alive as possible and would not have come down for the bogazh (joke) But still thank you for taking care of them.And I pierced it to show the full development cycle in my collection, although there are no tracks.

So! Again the Moldovan showdown? Now I will ban everyone

The caterpillars reach a length of 10 cm. They feed on the leaves of trees of various species, in Europe they are bred on Chinese ash. Unusually large, they are covered with fleshy outgrowths and seem to be covered with white powder. They pupate in a giant brown cocoon attached to a leaf. The male pupa weighs 8 g, and the female-up to 12 g.

By the way, thick, bluish-green caterpillars covered with white "pollen" on top and sides have long been used in India for the production of brown, strong and woolly silk, which is called fagar. On numerous farms, Indians breed Attacus atlas and look forward to the appearance of caterpillars that eat the foliage of citrus and other evergreen trees and secrete precious silk-less beautiful, but more durable than that of the silkworm.

Can I ask you how you got the eggs? My female Atlas also laid eggs, but they are of no use - she is not fertilized, eh, she did not wait for her male, she is still sitting in a cocoon. Maybe someone knows ways to stimulate the simultaneous or almost simultaneous appearance of a male and female from a cocoon?

AnnetLepidopterolog,
less than 2 years ago... No, it's gone.

Stimulate - I don't know, the question also interested me.
Maybe I should write to your call center lepidopterologists. The zoo? (By the way, there is a B. mori exhibition there.) I have such addresses (with "mol-biola", of course):

*insect_mzoo@cdt.ru. In the subject, specify: Berezina and Tkacheva.
* butterfly breeder: Anton Biryukov. Ruscolanicus@mail.ru

I saw an article somewhere (old issue of "Nature", about 20 years ago) about mulberry silkworm. I remember the word "parthenogenesis". Perhaps peacock eyes also have it? And the eggs won't be lost?

I have a cocoon hanging now, waiting for the exit. Who, I don't know yet. And argema mimosa, a male with broad antennae extending across his chest. Not for collections, I want them to fly.
