Good day to all!

I hasten to share my joy - this morning I found this miracle on gauze, already dried and with its wings spread.

Pupa found in the garden 22.07 in Nikopol (Dnipropetrovsk region. Ukraine).

I brought it home to Zaporozhye, put it in an open matchbox on cotton wool, covered it with a cap from a 2-liter plastic bottle. I made holes in the hood for ventilation and hung a piece of bandage.

Morning and evening moistened cotton wool and waited...

Last night, the pupa was restless, prancing on the mat.

Hawk moth was sitting on the gauze under the dome this morning.

I tied up my hands, took a picture, put it back under the hood (put the diluted honey). I was afraid to leave it in the room, because this plane started flying and hitting the furniture...

Please tell me what kind of view it is.

Thank you.

They have one generation per summer.The process is not as complicated as it seems at first glance.And you're right about time.But you can also figure it out over time.The caterpillars eat a lot,so we would just put a bunch of leaves on them and they would eat, and so on every morning.But konesh every other day to clean up their poop, so as not to appear any diseases.And you wouldn't have tortured the beast. I'd lay my eggs and let them go.And after a while, the caterpillars would pupate in the ground, and in the next season they would come out.As you can see, the process is not complicated.Hawk moth is one of my favorites, and I don't mind parozvodit butterflies, so sho there are butterfly eggs send.My friend so poplar hawk moth at home brought out.They also gave him eggs, so he brought them out.They came out in February, but konesh bindweed would have been released much later.So sho appear chance take a chance.Good luck....

You're bothering yourself too much

Everything is much easier - put a pregnant butterfly in a cage with a bindweed. She lays eggs-a butterfly in the wild. Then put the eggs in the camera with a cup of water, or on a slightly damp cloth, which seems even better. At least a week later, enachinaete check once a day-2 not hatched if anyone. If so, put the caterpillars in a terrarium, aquarium or even a jar with a small amount of earth and carry a forage plant from time to time (as they are devoured) and also wait until they grow and pupate in the ground. That's all. In fact, everything is simple-although it is always too lazy to go for a forage plant (it is true that it can be grown at home, but it is necessary in quite large numbers, since the caterpillars like to crunch.).
