More Life Cycles from Chris

I’ve added links to Chris’ techniques for rearing caterpillars to our “tips on rearing” page.  He has some great ideas for techniques and inexpensive equipment to make rearing more successful.

Chris has also done life cycles using still photos.    He’s put in many photos of each stage of the rearing of these insects.  It’s an amazing amount of work, and very well documented.   Here are links to the new life cycles:
