Hi, a friend of mine was in August in Arizona and collected eggs of Hemihyalea edwardsii and H. splendens. He has trouble breeeding them now, and we would be glad if anybody here has some experience with them or can help. He is feeding them with oak leaves, but they are not really growing well. He has 3 questions:
1) Will they hibernate as a pupa or hibernate at all? Will the adult moth hatch right away or will they wait until next year?
2) Is it possible that the caterpillars hibernate? Currently they are not growing well and not eating much.
3) Does anybody know if they eat artificial food, if yes, which?
Thank you for any help.
