I have just received 40 Argema mimosa cocoons. I have never bred them before, didn't ask for them, but thought I would give them a try anyway. I think they are this species because two had already pupated in the box and I checked up on the internet. Do they have to be hung up in order to hatch out, and do the cocoons have to be at a certain temperature? thanx in advance pete Attachments:

They are from Zambia. They are now pupating. 3 more have emerged overnight. What do they need to live on?
