First we are going to raise tiger swallowtails. Specifically Eastern tiger swallowtails. Their diet as caterpillars consists of tulip trees and lilac leaves which we have scattered everywhere during summer to spring. This is our first time raising these beautiful butterflies and its honestly my dream to raise these magical beings come to our museum. So wish us luck!
Final we have three more polyphemus moth cocoons that are hibernating for next year spring. I'm pretty sure they will hatched in April. Anyways we might raise the polyphemus moth from scratch by going egg hunting in our garden. You see polyphemus moths required oak, maple, and hickory trees as host plants. Which is what we have in our property. So to look for eggs we look underneath the leaves of each tree. Let's hope we can collect eggs to raise.
Thats all for now will post updates on the polyphemus moth cocoons. Have a magical night everyone!
