Moths can have different shades of green, depending on the time they hatch, for example, the spring and summer generations differ slightly. In some locations, a form called Actias luna rubromarginata occurs in spring. There are also various variations of the windows on the moth's wings. They can be white or yellowish in color.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 The caterpillars feed on various deciduous broadleaf trees. This species is very easy to keep. Rearing caterpillars is very simple and possible in spacious mesh enclosures or directly on living trees in monofilament nets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic breeding factors are important, such as maintaining cleanliness, not keeping too many caterpillars together, and regularly changing and maintaining fresh food. The caterpillars really like good ventilation and do not like moisture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 The eggs are small and round, off-white to light brown in color.

This depends on the weather, conditions, and also the location. When we raise this species in the spring months, we can expect, depending on the weather, another generation or even several generations. If we raise them at the end of summer, when the leaves are beginning to fall, it is better to overwinter these species, either in a refrigerator or outside in a mesh enclosure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 When overwintering outdoors, there is a risk of various predators that like to feast on the cocoons, or premature hatching due to the current climatic situation and temperatures that remain high even in later months. If we choose to overwinter in a refrigerator, it's best to place the cocoons in moss or dried peat, which holds moisture well. However, they need to be aired regularly to prevent mold, and moistened so they do not dry out in the refrigerator.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 Pairing is very easy just place the moths in a mesh enclosure and position it outdoors or indoors near an open window.
