Description

The purpose of this group is to exchange information on finding, breeding and identifying U.K. Lepidoptera. The aim is to build a database containing hints and tips for finding and breeding all UK species, particularly those species which are 'difficult' to rear in captivity. Topics could also include alternative foodplants, methods of hibernating larvae, livestock exchange etc. Written Hints and Tips will be posted in PDF files in the Files Area and Pictures of the early stages of butterflies and moths in the Photos area of this forum.

A series of photographs illustrating the eggs, caterpillars, pupae and adults of many species of butterflies and moths can be found on our website at http://www.ukleps.org/

If you are also interested in other insect groups you should join the Amateur Entomologists' Society Bug Club forum at:- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bugclub/

Re: Parasites on Puss Moth cat
Hi Paul, Could you get a close-up shot of these? To me it looks less like parasitoids and more like a larva has been accidentally squashed and eviscerated.

Re: Parasites on Puss Moth cat
Hi Andy I dont expect the Puss cat to survive the parasites as its not eating much and is obviously not behaving as one would expect a healthy cat to behave.

Re: Parasites on Puss Moth cat
Hi Matt I have the Puss Moth seperated in a container on its own to see what appears from this. I can only assume its one of the parasites that lays its eggs

Re: Parasites on Puss Moth cat
I'm pretty certain they are not the larvae of a fly, Tachinid larvae are all internal parasites of larvae as far as I know.   Why not rear them out and see
