This year, I started to find Swallowtail caterpillars quite often in the garden. I studied the topic and decided to grow, having a little experience at my own risk, I decided to try breeding tropical butterflies. But that's a different story... If the hatched Swallowtails even after" drying " behaved calmly, then the tropical butterfly(which hatched first of 3(they are all different species)) under the name "Sailboat Polinur" or officially "Popilia Polinurus", after" drying " the wings, it began to rush from side to side, beating its wings against the walls of the aquarium (it is made of butterflies, air enters, and gauze hangs on the walls). Bottom line: her" droplets " came off, her wings were torn off.. I read somewhere that this is possible due to dryness, but there was a hydrogel.

Please tell me, I'm afraid for the rest of the butterflies and I want to at least prevent similar mistakes in the future.

And all because the aquarium is for fish, butterflies are not kept in the glass.
