PLEASE HELP!!!! TH-cam does NOT support my channel!! I am permanently demonetised; when people click on my videos, I don't make a single dollar. This channel runs on donations from my viewers for 100% !
The type of content I make is very expensive and time consuming - such as filming the whole life cycles of butterflies and moths in captivity, which takes months of dedication! I am also an independent researcher, conservationalist, moth breeder and hobbyist, and the funds I raise online go towards my videos, my research & breeding projects that promote the importance and our knowledge of insects and other animals - on social media and in reallife!

This is my secret for getting views & subscribers.

My mission as a TH-camr is as follows:
1. Inspire people to admire insects (butterflies & moths in particular) more, and realise how important, beautiful, complex and fun these animals are. Insects are the most important animals in our environment, but get the least attention!
2. Promoting (ethically!) breeding moths and butterflies in captivity, and providing notes, tips and caresheets, to help other people breed them.
3. Subtly point out environmental issues, to get my audience more aware of the fact our environment needs more support, and make people care more about nature in general.
4. To supplement my career as independent entomologist, and provide a free and accessible source of information online.
5. To entertain - social media is entertainment after all, no matter how much we pretend it's science - to be succesful, one has to be entertaining, and provide interesting content to take peoples mind off other issues.
6. Use my influence in a positive way, that generates more attention towards species of animals that have been severely neglected by science.
7. To raise more funds that I could use to produce more, and better quality content in the future.
Question of the day: what BUTTERFLY would you like to see on youtube?

Very nice butterfly! I love this one
A pretty one! With blue coloring. I know that blue isn't common natural color, can you talk about it?
I’m curious to see how you’d do with a papilio sp.- maybe the old world swallowtail or scarce swallowtail? And of course monarchs, but I already know what’s coming maybe 😉
What about a fritillary? Their caterpillars take some time to raise, though they make for some beautiful butterflies!
Oooooh or a skipper.... I have a lot of suggestions sir 😅
Hi Keri!
I would like to see a fritillary butterfly, because of their interestingly lazy way of laying eggs
I watched this for the first time and I learnt so much! I saw a butterfly yesterday and I took its photoand that led me to you~! Iwill tell my friends and hope they like it. I am a retired aold man 88 yrs and have very little money but I have a big heart and I watched your video and I love what you do and how you do it and the wonderful person you are and how you are contributing to life on this planet. For all this, my heart goes out to you and you have a place in it!
Thank you for watching :)
took this picture for you. It was taken in a lil park some 25 mins walk from where I live.
I hope you like it. I like you very very much! You are a lovely person and the world needs more like you!
Thanks for all the butterflies and beauty!
Ik heb heel vaak Atalanta rupsen gevonden. Altijd roestbruin met witte stippen en inderdaad in een gevouwen brandnetel blad. Grappig om te zien dat er meer kleurvariaties bestaan.
So pleased to watch your video. Here in New Zealand we have our own Red Admiral Vanessa Gonerilla, which sadly is a very rare sighting in my area due mostly to lack of nettles, especially our endemic urtica ferox nettle tree which the red admirals desire most. I finally have 7 caterpillars/chrysalis, gifted by an enthusiast and hoping to have my first butterfly soon, so especially appreciated the details on feeding fruit and sugar water. I have a small adapted glasshouse which houses the same netting cage, essential for keeping out the ant sized ichneumon wasp pteromalus puparum, introduced to control the white cabbage butterfly, but now infecting both yellow and red admirals as they pupate.
Hopefully my efforts will bring back the nz red admiral to my area at least.
If so, the greatest effect will be spreading Urtica ferox!
I'm so glad I found your channel, I want to breed butterflies and raise caterpillars too. I have some experience but not a lot. This is so informative! I'm amazed how you're able to touch the stinging nettles, I wish I could I get hurt. Thanks for the advice in your videos, I appreciate it a lot ♥
Cool butterfly.
Nymphalidae are a great species for beginners to rear at home, and can mostly be released as adults without environmental consequences as they are so wide ranging.
That wasp is awesome!!!
Awesome!
Bart this was so great! Thank you :)
Heel leerzaam; ik geef je eerder een 9 dan een 6. Aandacht voor de vlinder is heel belangrijk!
Where I live they are very rare and we only get two to three sighting per year, it is still a magnificent beauty.
same there is in greece. likes the grape juice
A Red Admiral caterpillar showed up on my front door 6 days ago. It made a chrysalis the next morning. I’m waiting for it to eclose within the next week. It’s been warm here, I live in San Diego, California. Today’s date is Oct. 25.
Lucky find!
Hey Bart you should do a video on the holly blue or the silver studded butterfly they are so beautiful 🦋❤️
Nice suggestion! I'll think about it!
@@BartCoppens 😊💙
Finally
Hi Steven
How much do the butterfly caterpillar live
bart why are you demonetised?
i found one with a broken wing and looked after it for a few days and then i had to go on a holiday trip and when i come back its gone its probably dead
Thanks I have to reinstall Skyrim now.
what is the title of the song at the beginning of the movie?
About how many eggs can they lay?
I think over a hundred
@@BartCoppens thank you I have two with me and barely starting that’s why I asked thank you again 😊
going to start breeding them this year :)
I found 3 red admiral caterpillars and a few eggs in my window ( My window has some leaves hanging ) I was thinking of raising them ^-^
I'm shocked stinging nettle can raise not one but three species of butterfly! Going to have to add it to my garden!
Oh its just the tip of the iceberg! In my country nettles feed the common map, the comma, the peacock butterfly, the red admiral..and the small tortoiseshell, the painted lady
@@BartCoppensWow that's insane! I actually realized it's not native here 😭 But we do have other native nettles that still seem to be very popular with lepidoptera that I'm going to try planting!
@@aphyngodiva2551 Yeah, if it's not native, that's bad news. Butterflies probably use different indigenous host plants in America than in Europe
I always thought that a "red admiral" was a man who helped run the Soviet navy.
Informative video! How does one tell the female from the male Red Admiral in Texas USA? I have released 2 in the last 2 days. Thanks in advance!
Males are slightly smaller wingtip to wingtip.
@@louisenicolleau6916 And you can check the genitals, males have claspers
What is with the red stains after they hatch? Is that from like mucus or something?
Its their poop because they cant poop inside of their pupae
I was trying to catch one until I injured it and I felt guilty. I did not want to hold it because I was scared and then I checked it and it was was struggling and I checked and there was a yellow jacket wasp (Vespula maculifrons) on it and it was attacking and killing the red admiral and trying to drag it even though their queen is dead they are still trying to survive probably the queen survived and at that time I felt guilty because I injured a innocent butterfly and it was a free target for the yellow jackets. Yellow jackets are really aggressive and if you go near their nest on accident they will sting you and will fight you for your food and they always bother you.
In North America, we have Vanessa atalanta rubria (American Red Admiral). One of the subspecies.
do you mean the american painted lady ???
@@WednesdayAddams5 We have both in North America.
@@teresar.5384 they come from europe tho were im from and they also migrate from europe to places like north america
How long do the butterflies live on average after emerging from the cocoon? Also - any considerations / factors on deciding between trying to raise moths vs. butterflies from the egg stage? Whatever lives longer after emergence would be the biggest thing for me. Great videos and whenever I get a chance I'll throw you some support on patreon. Do you sell any moth/butterfly eggs?
I think they can live for several months under optimal conditions for sure! At the moment I dont sell much im afraid though!
Saturnidae are the most lazy species....but for home rearing can produce the best results as they are so accommodating as adults.
Hate the music 😱
It's from Skyrim
