keep or release?
Did you keep or release the adult? I reared two to adult (of the 27 eggs I found), and they happened to be a male and a female. I was thinking about keeping them in captivity to see if they would mate, but couldn't figure out how large a container I'd need (do they need to fly before mating, like some moths/butterflies?), and was just about out of aphids, so I photographed them and released them.
