Hello Chris,
Currently, I´m also looking for artificial food for painted ladies (Cynthia cardui) caterpillars.
At the moment I feed a mixture of sugar and water (1:4) to the butterflies.
To the caterpillars I´m planning to give fresh stinging-nettle.
However, I could not find a shop in Europe! Which is similar to the artifical food which this guys use in there kit: shop.schmetterlingsgarten4u.de
Furthermore, I found a recipe but I´m not sure from where to order the incrediants in Europe:

How do you currently feed your laydies? Catapillars?
Best regards
Patrick
Hi Patrick,
Same problem here, no shops in Europe that sells the artificial diet. And to be honnest,
getting all ingredients and make it myself is almost impossible I think.
But I e-mailed some companies in the states for addresses in Europe where I can get the diet.
I keep you posted.
Best regards,

Hello Chris,
Did you receive some new information about the artificial food industry in europe?
At the moment I have approximate 200 eggs.
Best regards
Patrick
Hi Patrick,
No, I didn't get any reply on my e-mails. I gues we are on our own with this.

Hello,
why don´t you ask Serge? He has used artificial diet for several species, I don´t know if it is suitable for yours. And he is selling it, as far as I know. You easily find his contact in the Börse.

I bought a huge amount of Southland artificial diet from the USA. The Diet is perfect for Painted Lady.
You can find the offer under the following link or send me a PM.

Ich habe eine größere Menge Kunstfutter (KUFU) aus den USA gekauft. Das Kunstfutter eignet sich perfekt für die Distelfalter-Raupe.
Bei Interesse bitte eine PM an mich.
