Both the moths and the caterpillars are truly spectacular.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 The principle with this species is to always keep green and fresh leaves of the host plant available throughout the rearing of the caterpillars and to regularly clean the enclosure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 The adult moths are truly beautiful, and there is a very distinct sexual dimorphism.

It is essential to maintain good hygiene and fresh leaves continuously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 The eggs hatch within 7-14 days.

As the leaves fall, this helps them blend in, looking like an ordinary dry leaf, which serves as protection from potential predators. Therefore, I would recommend hanging the cocoons during the wintering of this species and subsequent hatching.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;We can overwinter the cocoons outside just like other species from Canada or the USA.
