where do you get the caterpillars or do find them
The3EpicNinjas 5 months ago
Yes - I go out in the field and find nearly all of the eggs, caterpillars and adult butterflies/moths that I work with :-)

@jcmegabyte what plants do you mostly find the sphinx caterpillars on?
The3EpicNinjas 5 months ago
It really depends on the species... These lucidus eggs came from adults ovipositing on Primrose. Carolina Sphinx can be easily found on tomato plants (known as tomato worms), and at the right time of year, White-Lined Sphinx larvae can be found crawling on and eating just about anything in my area! XD It really help to get to know the species found in your area, and their host plants :-)

is it EATING the egg?

Yep - all butterfly and moth caterpillars eat their way out of the eggshell, and many will eat the entire thing after they are out. Apparently the shell makes a good first meal - full of protein and such. =)
