Index of Subjects Thanks Jim, Aug 5, 2013 Is a pupal case usually split up the back when a moth emerges ? Provided it does not take much time I may try to rear some; am thinking along lines of a plastic cylinder made from a 7-cm diam. pill bottle with top & bottom removed, a shelf about 3 cm up made of a grid of nylon string, the lower 3 cm with 3 vents made by cutting away 3 curved archways to form 3 1-cm high legs, the cylinder with 3 cocoons, placed on the ground away from full sunlight and covered with a glass bottle. I have an old open-pan balance to detect spent cocoons. Have I missed something ?
