Butterfly Garden

Raising a new species

9 years ago

Hi
I caught a female Canadian tiger swallowtail yesterday. Today she laid 5 eggs on my quaking aspen and should I leave the leafs with eggs on them on the plant? Is their any special things I need to know about raising tiger swallowtail? I'm so excited these are my favorite butterfly. Any help is welcomed.
Thanks

This photo album that I placed on Flickr is using Jim's method to hatch monarch eggs. It works. It keeps humidity high in the container without wetting the leaves.
