Hello everyone

I m getting signals and seen that eggs that I shipped to some people here are getting Dent.

Can everyone who bought eggs from me between half may until beginning of June sent me a message. Will work on a good solution for people with dent eggs.

My apologies.

Yes many complaints about him I also tried to contact him through actias one of my clients ordered dubernardi end dec '24 never received anything . Also no replies on emails.

I honestly don t know if his account is suspended on actias.

Stuart if you re reading this. Solve the issues and be honest to your customere and pay their money back.

Itoralis is to toxic for the priamus not recommended to use.

Also Itoralis is a pest in Australia.

Hey Carmen

Very welcome! Happy to help!

No I succesfully reared them on Sweetgum!! No losses! The key:

Low humidity, low temp. 17-23 celcius

Humidity 45-53 %

Succes guaranteed

eucalyptes gunnii best host

Hello Everyone,

just a little story about breeding the Ornithoptera Priamus. This species is listed as CITES 2 but this is unnecessary because this species is very easy to rear. Within 3-4 weeks you have a huge caterpillar! See the attached photo's of mine Priamus Larvae in L5 stage.

The female lays there eggs on every Aristolochia Spp. The food I used for breeding them is Aristolochia Grandiflora, Aristolochia Clematitis and Aristolichia Durior( Macrophylla).

I'm asking around for artificial food so rearing them in wintertime is also possible. I have a few aristolochia Tagala plants in a huge greenhouse. Sorry not for buying. So hopefully next year we can set up an own breeding. we going to plant more than 50-80 Aristolochia plants to see. And plan is harvest many eggs so that everybody on actias can breed this beautiful species.

For questions just mail!

Hello everyone,

I have done many experiments with Argema Mittrei caterpillars. I have also breed three years and have developed a hand pair technique which handpairs the Argema Mittrei within 1-2 minutes). And i my whole experience none of 1000 caterpillars accepted Ligustrum as food. The do accept artificial diet. Some people on actias know where to obtain it or how to make some. I do not have this knowledge

The do best on Rhus species, Eucalyptes gunni, Sweetgum, Juglans and Schinus Molles you can have good result.( a german company sells this plant. http://www.floratoskana.de) . The author Rudolphe Lampe from the book Saturniidae of the World.

He is feeding the mittrei on Ligustrum. But take a good look at the pictures in this book. They leaves are not all Ligustrum. looks like rhus spp. I also thought yes!! But it was to good to be true.

For more info or questions contact me.

With kind regards jayant

Hello Juraj,

PS: The male claspers must open then put the female against the male claspers.
I used to do it this way.

Hello Ali,

The only plant is Eucalyptes. I myself have a lot of E.Gunni around here and I can easily rear them on it.
