Hello,
I have 6 pupae of acherontia atropos, one of them is already a moth, another one is very dark and still and will likely transform soon
I would like to breed them and to let them mate, but this is the first time for me
The pupae are kept in a plastic box with a net on the top, in a cellar which is quite fresh and dark but not wet
The first moth is in a net cage, I feed it with a mixture of water and honey in a small piece of cloth
In case I want to let them mate, what else do I need?
Thank you
Breeding acherontia atropos for the first time

I feed them after second night..
With Honey 1 : 5 Water mixture.
They only feed all 2 days. Should be enough.
I let them fly in 80x80x160cm net cage..
I put also a potted liguster in it.
After Kolpula 3-7 Days the female start laying eggs..
