Dear butterfly friends!

I am thinking about going to Canada on vacation next year and also setting up the light trap to catch.

Who can help me with some information?

What I would like to know is, when (month) is the best time to catch?

What place is best to catch? (I think towards the south of Montreal)

What I want to catch light is:

saturniinae species -

ceratocampinae species -

Hemileucinae species.

Maybe a link of page would be helpfull to, i cant really find anything.

I have about 40 pupae from two different f0 bloodlines.

what is the best way to recognize the sex in pupae stage..

suggestions, tips or examples?

Quote from wern

If you have the opportunity, Pinus sylvestris and Pinus mugo are the best forage plants.
I have already bred Actias dubernardi three times without any losses.
Inbreeding is not a problem with this species.
My last breeding took place in November/December at temperatures of around 20 degrees during the day and around 12 degrees at night
in the winter garden. I used large plastic boxes with little ventilation.
The humidity was around 80 to 90 percent.

can you explain this: Inbreeding is not a problem with this species.?

i would like to know if they eat the food to

i would.spend up to 25€ for a food calendar...

But for me.. if it does nog have a moon schedule i would not buy it because i use it to plan my night trapping. The photos are beautiful!

I don't know if you take it into account yourself, I buy a calendar because of the beautiful photos, but for me it should also contain a moon schedule when it is a full moon, a quarter moon and a new moon. maybe an idea to remember

i would not order there

Hallo,

Ich habe das gleiche Problem, In meinem Fall laufen die Raupen,

fressen eine Weile und hören dann auf zu fressen.

Ich gebe ihnen Salix und Fagus sylvatica f. purpurea..

Franz, wenn du genug hast, würde ich wirklich gerne ein Paar übernehmen

the ''maas'' had flooded and washed everything away.

what's starting to grow is now about 2cm tall,

not ideal for breeding,

I want to release some of it, but also for breeding

okay uwe... i'm talking about transfer

how long can hyles euphorbiae hibernate/diapause at 10c/12c in the fridge?

they have bin in there from septermber/october.

still no hostplants here.

breeding question,

how easy or difficult is it to transfer the Antheraea yamamai from Crataegus to Fagus?

the caterpillars are in different life stages

Hi,

you can easily take some ova with you in your hand luggage,

not in the hold (pressure and temperature differences are too great)

put them in a tick-tock box, in an empty pen case,

something that is sturdy and does not break or dent,

with cotton wool or paper so they don't get shaken up too much.

can some one help me with tips.. how to THEORETICAL breed the willowherb moth?

hello toni,

I can not edit the thread

Ik wil graag wat tips ontvangen voor het kweken van gevonden proserpinus proserpina.

Paren ze snel?

Deze is niet te koop maar voor paring, kweek en vrijlating, tips en advies.

thank you for the info!

Macroglossum stellatarum on ligustrum,

today I saw a Macroglossum stellatarum laying eggs on ligustrum.

nothing can be found online about this host plant. Does anybody have experience with this?

can the Antheraea yamamai caterpillars be found with Blacklight?
