How to care for imperial moth caterpillars?

[777]

I found an imperial moth (Eacles imperialis) at night about two weeks ago. I pinched its thorax to incapacitate it, but I didn't have my killing jar with me. The moth soon recovered from my pinch, and I put it in a bowl. It laid about thirty eggs, and I didn't know what to do with them. The moth is of coarse pinned now, but I kept the eggs to see if they would hatch, and sure enough they did. I only have four tiny caterpillars, and I want to take care of them. I have no idea how, and I am wondering if anyone in this forum has any experience of taking care of this species from egg to adulthood.

I’d suggest you visit Bill Oehlke’s site for information on general rearing/foodplants. He also wrote a fine article on Earth Pupators in the “Bill’s Articles” section.

Thank you for the suggestion! Also, I no longer have four caterpillars (more like 40 now).
