Hallo
Ich verstehe nicht, Ihre Frage vollkommen.
Für Citheronia regalis, ich habe eine Generation pro Jahr. Sie sind Ende August Puppen Mitte Mai Also in der Garage von September bis Mai
Wenn ich sehe, dass die Blätter der Bäume, die Bogendruck sind, habe ich innen zu gehen und sie kommen aus ihren Puppen zwei bis drei Wochen später.

hello
I do not understand your question completely.
For Citheronia regalis, I have one generation per year. They are in late August pupae in mid May . So in the garage from September to May
When I see that the leaves of trees which are sheet fed, I take pupae inside and imagos emerge from their pupae two or three weeks later.

Best regards

Hallo Chris
Ich habe meine in meiner Garage überwintert regalis in diesem Winter nicht isolierten und Puppen waren nur in einer Box mit Toilettenpapier. Sie litten unter dem Gefrierpunkt (-10 für mehrere Wochen) und ich hatte wirklich Angst, aber es war kein Problem der Emergenz. Imagines waren super.
In ihrer Heimat ist es sehr kalt und sie graben sich wirklich tief. Die Schwierigkeit ist nicht zu feucht, wenn sie die Puppen sind bei niedrigen Temperaturen (Schimmel-Problem) und hohen Temperaturen die Schmetterlinge kommen zu früh. Herbst in Großbritannien war besonders heiß in meiner Garage, haben zwei Männchen regalis im Oktober aufgetaucht.
Bestes für den Winterschlaf regalis ist eine Veranda Kälte (Frost, aber ohne Heizung), Puppen in einem Karton Toilettenpapier und sehr wenig Benetzung.
Viele Grüße

Hello Chris
I made my wintered in my garage regalis uninsulated this winter and pupae were only in a box with toilet paper. They suffered freezing (-10 for several weeks) and I was really scared but there was no problem of emergence. Imagos were superb.
In their home country, it is very cold and they bury themselves really deep. The difficulty is not too damp the pupae when they are at low temperatures (mold problem) and high temperatures the butterflies come out too early. Autumn in Britain was particularly hot in my garage, two males regalis have emerged in October.
Best for hibernation regalis is a veranda cold (not freezing but without heating), pupae in a box with toilet paper and very little wetting.

Hi,
Usually I made my winter cocoons in a garage not isolated and my imagos did not suffer despite the freezing temperatures of -10 outside( inside was the same without wind). The water froze in the garage too. I think you can make your winter A.dubernardi on your balcony in a wooden box with a water spray from time to time.
Best regards

Hallo
Die Actias dubernardi machen ihren Kokons auf dem Boden in den Ästen. Als sie in der Nähe der Verpuppung sind, werden sie nach unten gehen neigen, müssen wir ihre Äste am Boden des Käfigs vorzubereiten.
Ich hatte immer sehr gute Ergebnisse bei einer Umgebungstemperatur nicht zu hoch. Wir dürfen nicht vergessen, dass dies eine Spezies, die in den Bergen lebt.
Viele Grüße
Sabine

sorry i don(t speak german so I write in english :
Hello
The Actias dubernardi make their cocoons on the ground in the branches. When they are near pupation, they tend to go down, we must prepare their branches at the bottom of the cage.
I have always had very good results at an ambient temperature not too high. We must not forget that this is a species that lives in the mountains.

Sabine

Hello Adrian
The best plant for the pernyi in winter is the photinia because it's persistent.
It is easy to find in town because used a lot to create hedges.
You can begin your breeding with oak (Quercus sp) and finish with Photinia.
Good breeding
Sabine

Hello Kevin
Best plants for Actias selene in winter are Rhododendron and PHOTINIA (In my case, Photinia fraseri Red Robin).
Good bredding

Hello Heinz
I m sorry but I don't speak deutch (and My english Is not very good!) so I will tell you my experience with Antheraea pernyi (a lot of breedings of them).
When male pernyi make pairing , I wait 24 hours and after this time I touch male antennas because he hate it!! and Iseparate him of the female. I must separate the female after this first pairing because the male love that so....!!! that the female die even she can't laying. When she is somewhere out, She lay 120 eggs or so more.
The great breeder Ronald baxter in his book "rearing wild silkmoths" observed the same thing about Antheraea pernyi.
I hope you will understand my post.
Best regards

Hello
Best plants for caterpillars of Cricula trifenestrata is aok Quercus and Rhododendron sp.
I think they don't eat ligustrum and betula but You can try Salix babylonica, Pyrus communis and Eucalyptus gunnii.
