Well , We 'll never know what is the truth ! :cool:

Hello Rudy ,

photo 19 is Euphorbia Serrata .

The eaten leaves of E.Characias prbably eaten by Hyles Euphorbiae larvae ...

Of course H.Nicaea larvae accepts Characias in captivity but they prefer Nicaensis in the wild .

Pascal

Hello Rudy ,

Wonderfull photos ! Bravo !

Where did you find them ? in Langedoc or haute provence ?

I found 8 in 1995 in southern Ardéche near the commune of GRAS , and 1 in 1997 in the aude departement ( 11 ) near Durban Corbiéres ...always on Euphorbiae Nicaensis !

never on Characias .

Nicaea is the nicest larva of Palearctic Sphingidae ! and they're really difficullt to find !

Regards, Pascal

Dear Miles ,

you have breed Hyles Euphorbiae larvae with Epilobium Hirsutum ? ( as i 've seen on your photos )

Hi to all ,

I have some imagos of hemaris croatica ...

To have copulations , need i put them in big or little netcages please ?

is Dypsacus fullonum ( Sylvestris )is a good foodplant for the larvae please ?

Many Thanks in advance ...

Pascal

well ....

about 25 degrees , but I think that if they're in the fridge ,diapause will operate ...

but of course a second partial hatch off is possible .

I've obtained a second partial generation but pupae were a above 28 degrees !

Regards ,

Pascal

No it doesn't matter !

when you'll be back , replace them in normal conditions ( temperature of the room )

Good Luck

Hi to all ,

I've finished a succesful breeding of Marumba Quercus from a wild female taken in South eastern France .

All the larval stages fed with Quercus pubescens in large plastic boxes !!!

I actually have 40 pupae , I've lost about 10 larvae in this breeding ...
i'll make a copulation as soon as possible .

Hi frank ,

i made a good breeding of Hyles nicaea nicaea in 1995 , from a wild female .

If you must go on travel , you should keep the pupae in the fridge to avoid a second ( partial ) generation ... because i had obtain a second generation of this species in september 1995 .
