Breeding mottled wings

Community and Forum → Insects breeding → Breeding mottled wings

Good afternoon! I found larvae of mottled wings (presumably Terellia tussilaginis) inside burdock spines. I brought it home and put a bunch of thorns in a jar and covered it with a lid with holes in it. Please tell me if you need any special conditions to get an imago or if this will be enough?

I can only say that burdocks do not have thorns. Maybe you had baskets in mind?

I meant the baskets, of course. But I thought that in this case it would be better to put it simply. I must have made a mistake.

Thorns are something that pricks (hurts), for example, on a thistle. And on the wrapper of the burdock basket are not thorns, but hooks. In theory, your jar should be placed in the cold until spring.

I perfectly understand the difference between spines and hooks, the habit from childhood remained in the conversation so to call burdock inflorescences. Thank you for your advice!
