Hello
I've been trying to get my Sphinx ligustri to mate but they just refuse to do so. The female was born on wednesday and the male on thursday.
As you can see in the picture the female is constantly calling but the male just seems to be asleep (i put him next to the female just before i took the picture but he fell asleep right after) . They are both well fed and i tried putting them outside and inside with a fan turned on. Any advice?
Hello
my i found a quite huge amount of Aglais urticae in march. I released most of them but I have kept some to try reproduction.
I was wondering if it was possible/easy to obtain spontaneus pairings in a 35x35x60 cage with some nettles inside or is hand pairing is an option.
any recommendations?
Thank you in advance.
Valentin
Thank you for your tips 
nobody knows?
Hello
My euphydryas aurinia pupae just started hatching.
I would like to know if it's possible to make them mate in captivity in a small cage or with hand pairing.
Thank you for your tips
Valentin
Thank you for your reply.
I didn't see it untill now but the caterpilar pupated without any problems.
Only the right antenna is a bit deformed but that shouldn't be a proglem.
Regards
Valentin

Hello
My only Papilio memnon caterpillar tried to prepare himself for pupation yesterday evening.
Today, I found the caterpilar, lying on the floor and unable to climb up again and attach himself to a twig properly.
Is there anything I should do, or should I just let him where he is?
Thank you for your answers
Valentin
P.s. the silk you can see on the picture is now gone
HI
I recieves hybrid caterpilars of Papilio memnon x P. lowii. Memnon spieces can be reared on skimmia wich is a Rutaceae like Citrus and Choysia.
Do you have any tips for me about the installation? At the moment I use the "bottle terrarium" for much humidity.
