Hello I catch some Lycaenidae larvae from mountains, ang pupation in recently. keeping them from larvae to adult is not difficult for me, but the preservation of eggs and make it hatch in the next spring is a big problem for me! I usually put them in the refrigerator two month later after they be layed. but allways fail result from fungus. My location is a island country, and more moist then other where, maybe it's the key point of this problem.

Thanks for your reply.
I set the temperture of my refrigerator at 3~5℃. It's quite hot in my living place in summer, but the larvae are collected from the mountains at least 1500m. I can't put the eggs outside-in natural conditions because of the high temperture. I think 3~5℃ is OK for them but usually fail.
