My niece has decided to collect all the caterpillars she finds and us trying to rear them, so far she has a few Garden Tiger 'pillars we think but there is one that i cant seem to identify! I do have a picture but before uploading are there any moth/butterfly enthusiasts out here who could help?

I'm no expert BUT maybe she could be persuaded to raise some 'farmed'species-full kits are readily available online-bit kinder on our native flutterbys?

I'm a self confessed bug nerd, definitely no expert but if you stick a picture up we can all have a look. I'd say so long as you provide them with the right food and release the butterfly as soon as it emerges then you'd only be helping the natives.

That's awesome thanks

yeah she's only keeping them to watch and did her research on what they eat etc so hopefully they'll pupate :)

I will upload a pic once I'm hone from work!
