hello! please help me with tips from personal experience on how to properly maintain a peacock-eyed pear pupa. A couple of days ago, I found a caterpillar, put it in a jar with a branch, in which it almost immediately wove a cocoon. I really want to grow a butterfly, but how much I searched the Net for information, I didn't find clear recommendations for storing and wintering the pupa, how to maintain humidity, where to store it, whether to get the pupa out of the cocoon, and so on. I will be very grateful and glad for your advice. I really don't want to ruin a butterfly for lack of knowledge(

You don't need to get the pupa out of the cocoon. It is best to put it in a small container with air access and do not disturb it. Then put it in the refrigerator and get it out in the spring. Good luck)

Buy pupae of female peacock-eyed pears.

And how to determine the female without opening the cocoon?
and then I don't want to spoil them all, although I know from the example of the Chinese peacock's eye-there they differ only by a window

This depends on the stage at which the insect overwinters: some have a pupa, others have an egg, caterpillar, or imago... Those butterflies that have a pupa overwintering should be put in the refrigerator. Only, of course, it is necessary to clarify the type - tropical pupae do not withstand low temperatures and, as a rule, do not fall into such a long diapause as our butterflies.

The pupa is very likely to die if it needs wintering, but it does not pass.

How to arrange her diapause in the refrigerator? put in boxes with air access, boxes in the refrigerator just? Or put something under the cocoon for humidity?
