hornworm breeding!

[cla2806]

Is it possible to breed them in colder weather? It's going to be Fall in Virginia and I was wondering if its still a good idea to try.

I breed them year round. I don't keep them outside so it does not make a difference what time of year. You can breed them in a small screen cage or make your own raising box. I posted a pic of what I made on this thread.

How do you get them to lay eggs if you dont have a tomato plant near by?

I put a potted tomato plant in the cage for them to lay eggs on. I think they will lay on other plants though.
