hi guys, I bought 10 specimen of Acherontia atropos and I need to help with its care. Most important for me are the possibilities of feeding them, as an example, do they accept the nectar which is usually for hummingbirds or loris. I know best would be hand feeding, but is there some youtuber focused on care of Sphingidae? I need to learn a lot, and Im in search of good books aswell as otther sources, as I mentioned above, I think youtube might help me a lot. Also mating, some of them are freshly hatched and I dont want to make mistakes with a bad care, so any help is highly appreciated. When it comes to books, what would You suggedt? I know only about dAbrera book, but are there any other worth it literature? I wanted to buy more species, but decided meanwhile focuse just on the Acherontia, so experienced entomologists here might help me with a good books or studies. I have the moths right now in a flexarium without plant, which is on the way, but wonder, would be one ligustrum just ok, what else do I need as for a succesfull breeding? Excuse my bad English please, not my first language. I would highly appreciate any kind of help from experienced Sphingidae breeders. Thank You all and have a nice weekend.![]()
