Macroglossum stellatarum egg-laying

    • Beitrag: Macroglossum stellatarum egg-laying, Thema: Schmetterlinge züchten: Erfahrungen, Fragen und Antworten

    This afternoon I caught a Macroglossum stellatarum female and I would like to let it oviposite. Does anyone have any experience with this species? Should I use a flight cage with flowers and Galium? Or would a large jar with Galium, artifical light and frequent feeding with honey water be sufficient? Hope someone can help me!

    Regards, Klaas

    Taubenschwänzchen need much space to fly. An egg-laying in captivity borders on the impossible. I've only done it once. It is therefore difficult, since this type a great urge towards light has.

    Thanks Dominik! In the future I will make sure I have a large fligh cage with flowers before I catch a female. Until now she has laid only one egg, in a jar with Gallium under a bright lamp.
