I have one male and one female mourning cloak who just hatched today. I'd like to raise some caterpillars, but I'm not sure how to get them to mate. Any advice? Thanks.
Help Breeding Nymphalis antiopa

as far as I know they do not produce second generation but they overwinter as adults

Hi, Radusho, thanks. I thought that might be the case.

Hi,
I realized the breeding of antiopa last year from eggs originating from the USA.
It was a second generation, I think.
The imagos I got mated and gave a new (3rd) generation in augustus-september in my garden greenhouse. (4 packets of eggs). Some imagos only have wintered.https://www.actias.de/gallery/…lis-antiopa-accouplement/
