Hi
I have a few A. Dubernardi cocoons, wich will hatch soon.
I have some questions about mating them.
What is the perfect temp. And hudmidity ?
I red that a good mating cage is 50x50x70, is that ok?
Does someone have some other tips and tricks?
Thanks in advance

First i want to Say
Congratulation for you
you have this ultimate species (for me) hahaha^_^uhh i have an tips
first you must prepare an room/place for them
the place must be clean and don't have any odor/smell,even fragrance its will make female's Pheromone weak
and make sure the place is far from noise then you place just an pair each room/Place ( you don't think to make them in group right?)
and what you do is watching them.,.,,but if they don't mate after 3rd or 4rd day you can use(the days count after the moth really-really can fly)
Method Hand Pairing
its easy to say but hard to do
you just need to rub the male end with the female's end till they attached each other
place them any where you wish Becareful maybe they will flyaway or maybe you break their wings so handel them with love oh yes before rubbing them you must make sure they not struggling (they will stop struggling after few minuet)
and now wait till 24 hour (may be faster= Less egg or may be Longer=More fertile Eggs!!!)Hope your Dubernardi Well.,.,.,..,.,
you too ofcourse
hahaha
oh yes "GOOD LUCK"
Best Wishes

Hi
I'll feed the caterpillars pinus sylvestris.
I actually bought the cocoons, he (alex m) would send 3 females and 2 males,
so I am sure that I have 2 pairs at least.
