Hi people,
As some of you might know, there are butterflies which can eject their eggs even if kept in a jar or paper envelope whereas others have to lay their eggs with the larval foodplant or with any other plant.
For example I know that from experience, all Melanargia species eject their eggs even if kept in a paper envelope. Similarly, Erebia epiphron and Hipparchia semele can lay their eggs directly on paper without the need of having a foodplant.
Do you know of other European species which eject their eggs or can lay their eggs on paper?
Anyone who would like to share his breeding experiences and knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
