Black dots on catterpillar..

    Dear people,

    At this moment I have some C. hercules caterpillars.
    So far everything went well, bu suddenly there appear black dots on the catterpillars.
    A year ago I had the same problem, after I discovered this the caterpillars stopped eating and died one for one....
    Does anyone know what this is and how can prevent this?

    I hope someone can help me!

    Best regards,
    Kees

    Hello Kees,

    to help you in your problem, it would be important to know under which breeding terms you draw up the caterpillars!
    Because you now 2. Thread has opened into which you have put at least a photo, your request seems to you to be important.
    However, without further information one can badly help you.

    At least it looks for me in such a way that the animals lack humidity. The caterpillar looks, as if it has peeled not right.
    Moreover, you seem to hold them very aerial. Do you have all around aviation grid?

    best regards

    Aber wenn du eine Idee hast und ich habe eine Idee und wir tauschen diese Ideen aus, dann wird jeder von uns zwei Ideen haben!

    Hi Kees.

    Could it possible, that the black dots are wounds based on attackes from other caterpillars?
    It´s an sometimes seen phenomenon, when caterpillars haven´t enough place for undisturbed feeding.

    Best regards.
