Hornworm pupa stage

[lizzywoodwardBD]

What temp should i keep the pupa stage at for them to morph in a decent time period? I have some that have been in the pupa stage for around 3-4 weeks i think and they have been around 65-75 degrees for the time.

Thanks

4 weeks sounds about right at 70-75 degrees, but I don't know about colder temps. Wait another week, and if they haven't emerged, check one or two to make certain they're still alive. They'll wiggle just a little bit when you pick them up. Dead ones are completely stiff and won't "bend."

I hope i can get them to breed now.
