The first cocoons🙌🏽

The larvae are huge and starting to form the cocoon now!

I'm not so happy because at first I thought it was another species...

But I'm still very excited to breed Crícula Trifenestrata again!🫶🏽

Finally today the first female Rothschildia Arethusa was born!

I'm going to leave her alone waiting for a male!

Let's cross our fingers 🙌🏽

Only one has emerged... the others were dry, bad news...

Look at that!

Yes, everyone is right! It is the species Circula Trifenestrata... but they sold it to me as Crícula Jordani, but we are already seeing that it is not like that... Jjeje 🙌🏽

After several days without posting updates, I'm going to post some photos of these beautiful, rather large larvae!

I think they're already in L4, and I say I think, because there's no difference between instars, all their larval stages are the same 🙌🏽

Hello everyone.

This time I'm going to share my experience breeding this species for the first time.

From the first moment they have accepted the plum (Prunus Domestica) very well.

They are currently in L2 but I will update the process as they grow.

Here are some photos in the first and second stage.

Greetings, I hope you like it 🙌🏽

L1

L2

This is a normal sized pupae, but very dark compared to other Rothschildias 🙌🏽

Hello everyone!

My contribution is that I think it is a larvae of the Dudusa genus 👌🏽

I don't know exactly what subspecies, but I think it is that moth, because of the area where I saw it.

I hope it helps! Greetings

I finally got the first cocoon🙌🏽

They have been eating a lot in L5 for quite some time 😁

They are getting very big in a short time.

I think they have very little time left to pupate 🫶🏽

Now they are in their final stage 🙌🏽 L5 has arrived jeje

I hope you like them as much as I do 🫣

I bring you good news again 🙌🏽

The larvae are already in L4 and very nice and big.

In addition to having reached this stage in record time!

I hope you like them.

Ready in L3

It is not a larvae that changes much between stages, in fact it is almost the same...

But they have super fast growth in this host plant 😱

They are already in L2 in the process of changing to L3

Hello everyone.

I want to share my first time with this species that I love and until now I have not been able to have access to it.

Rothschildia Arethusa ❤️

I am raising it in Ricinus communis, and I have been surprised by its voracity, since it is said that they usually eat Ailanthus.

They are currently in L1 but I will update as they grow.

Here are some photos so that you can enjoy the beauty of these caterpillars.

Greetings to everyone 🫂

Gracias por el consejo.

I wish I had adults of these species you mentioned now 😁

Oh yes, that's true... I think I've also read that article, even with pictures.

It's funny, since they should be viable if they're from the same tribe...

But this thing about moths is also a lottery jjjejje

Thanks for your reply

That's what I thought, and in fact I managed to have intercourse for several hours

I don't think they are fertile, but by trying as you say, there is nothing to lose 🙏🏽🫡

thanks to everyone for the answers.

then I'm not even going to try it!

but I find it very curious 😁
