Hey! Had a question. I have several pupae and im having trouble getting them to emerge. they are still alive (wriggle when touched). I have them on a timer at about 16 hours on in a 24 hour cycle but its been months (at least 2). I did not have them on this cycle when they were larvae. At the larvae stage they were probably getting less then 12 hours a day. Does the larvae stage matter? if not, why are they not emerging from there chrysalis? finally if they are in diapause how long till they emerge?

Keep them moist make sure it is warm enough and that they have a long light cycle. And, ofcourse, patience!
