Awesome good to know. That's exactly what I wanted to feed I have this one baby runt and notice he still likes fruit flies but I want to give it a variety thanks
I'm pretty sure it's a pipevine swallowtail and they are kinda going extinct or at least very rare. Where do you live? I'd stick to the other critters but not trying to be a buzz killer tree huger
Wait don't you live in Maui? And you couldn't keep it alive? Couldn't you of just put him in a screen cage on your deck all year? And how did you get him? You buy him at a local store or find him on a hike? I heard they live all over the islands?
also just make door like sides with screen and you can make an inexpensive drain pan out of CORIGATED PVC SHEETING they sell it in a 4x8 sheet for like 13$ at Home Depots in the back wall usually it's easy to cut with a razor blade and you can make the sides with a hot glue gun or silicone
Also you can't see in the pic cause the plant camouflages them but there are two pretty large lights heat lamp and UVB basking bulb as well as a 5.0 VHO UVB bulb on inside this one doesn't get very warm and there is a fogger hooked up to an auto humidity temp switch that adds a very cool fog...
