Hello fellow-breeders,
I have a question. Each year I have some Papilio-species flying in my greenhouse, most of the time from eggs that I get from a friend or bought somewhere.
I'd like to know which species can hibernate at low temperatures as pupa.
This year I have Papilio dardanus, polytes, and demoleus flying and reproducing. Can they be kept over the winter ? Are there other species that can hibernate?
Paul
