hey guys and girls im new here and i want to start breeding hornworms
yes i have red some of the breeding posts on here but they did not answer my questions
correct me if im wrong please
1.feed untill they become wanderers
2.let them bury in the dirt and make a cocoon or wrap them in a paper towel and place in a dry dark place
3.put the moths in a flight chamber
4. put in some sugar water or humming bird food
5.let them lay eggs on leaves
6.then repeat
#2 is there any kind of dirt that i should use or do u suggest another method
for # 3 how big does the flight chamber have to be is a 100gal flexarium too big or should i go smaller
and for # 5 can i use fake leaves or do they have to be real?
if there is any thing i am forgetting or any tips you could give it would be grately appreciated
EDIT*** has any 1 made a flight chamber if you have what size of screen mesh did you use
EDIT #2*** if you do get the moths to lay eggs on the leaves how do you get the eggs off
thanks
