Eacles imperialis - Imperial Moth - Hodges#7704
Eacles imperialis - Imperial Moth - Hodges#7704
he is ready to pupate, they are earth pupaters, they dig down in the dirt and overwinter as pupae. if you want to overwinter him and see the adult you can google rearing eacles imperialis, i am a little concerned that he may not be able to dig down, they need to wander for a day or so then dig, so dont keep him very long, or he wont be able to dig.
