▲ 274 r/moths
Found this old girl (imperial moth) on parking lot about to die. fed her sugary water and she laid 9 eggs. NEVER TOOK CARE OF MOTHS BEFORE, what should I do? (Ceará, Brazil)
heard here I reddit that while hatching the eggs, I should keep them in a closed environment like a box without moisturization. but not very sure on what to do next. can't really afford a terrarium! and what do the caterpillar eat? any specific native plant?
edit: also read in here that imperial moths don't have a proboscis, but this one does. are they non-functional?
