Thanks!
The extra info helps! If you raise it in a totally artificial environment (like in a house during a cold winter) then removing dates is best, but if it is close to a natural development then the dates are great to have.

Indoors, yes
but only moved there when it was prepupal - so yes, the data are close to normal I'd say. Our indoor temp is 80 F, so below the outdoor temps at Molino, but not very much, and warmer than outdoors at night.
