I made this thread last summer about raising caterpillars. Unfortunately that caterpillar died after a few weeks, from what appears to be a disease of some sort. This also is not the first time I have seen this happen. So this summer I choose to do things differently. Instead of buying large caterpillars from the state fair, which is a pretty iffy and expensive source. Today I received 20 ova (eggs) in the mail today from a hobbyist breeder around 3 hours away. Hopefully things will go much better with these guys. It will be 5-9 days I'm guessing till they hatch. I'm still debating what food to start them on possibly either lilac, oak, or birch. They don't like to switch foods once started so I got to find something easy to get and in considerable amounts.
Here are the eggs ATM.
