Anyone else ever 'reared' these from larvae? My child's insect garden has a lot to answer for....especially as I am the only one in the house to care that they have pupated for a week and it could be any day now!!!

Ooooh yes- we did these. Big success, although one didn't make it. Just got the stick insects - waiting with baited breath!

Did the butterflies - which were surprisingly repulsive!
