Re: deaths head hawk mothHave to say Ock if anything could convert me to liking moths, those piccies would do it. They are really beautiful and have grown so fast. Cant believe I am typing these words. LOL
Re: deaths head hawk moth
aww I`m so glad , they are beautiful and really amazing, it`s nuts to think about how small they were a few weeks ago and how much they change with each moult, hopefully they`ll be about 5 inches long within the next week or so [center]OCK LIKES TO PARTY !!!![/center]

Re: deaths head hawk moththey`ll get up to about 5 inches long then change colour a bit, go a bit purple and rush around the tub, I`ll then put them in tubs with about 6 inches of compost in the bottom and they`ll bury themselves and turn into pupas, after about 10 days I`ll dig them up and then hopefully they`ll all hatch

Re: deaths head hawk mothAre you keeping them in the house, Ock?
Re: deaths head hawk moth
not anymore, they`ve grown so fast and are eating soooooo much now I couldn`t keep up with feeding them enough, they are now in my garage in the moth cage with a bush to eat [center]OCK LIKES TO PARTY !!!![/center]
