I am asking genuinely because I do not see many posts about them. I know there are lepidoptera forums aplenty, but, perhaps they do not share the same common interest we do with spiders. Afterall, there are isopod forums and such. I have been in the process of hatching a few species recently.
I do care a lot about the issue of inbreeding. I prefer the mix of bloodlines. It has been hard for me to expand my bloodlines.
I do not necessarily wish to make a big deal about it. I was just curious to see if any of us Tarantula keepers were also keeping some saturniids and such. Of course, I am situated in Canada, so my species list is small. But I was curious to see if I was the only one keeping these.
I enjoy to see the metamorphisis and hatching after diapause. The transition and egg laying. I have been keeping lepidoptera for a long time, they are inverterbrates too. I guess i wish to have some sort of small exchange on the subject. Or connect with people who share a passion for spiders and also keep saturniids.
Cecropia was the last of my species to hatch. Unfortunately, only the males have come forth yet. And all my wild found specimens are still no show. Most likely dried to point of no return. Such bad winters we have had…
