This film showcases the amazing beauty of butterflies and moths, two of the largest species of both groups, the reasons behind their colourful patterns, and the miracle or metamorphosis. We also discover the essentials of how to keep butterflies and moths at home!

The Weird and Wonderful Pets project is about inspiring young minds!
While animal husbandry must always be taken VERY seriously (see Golden Rules video at the link above), many exotic small animals have quite simple culture requirements, and it is easy to provide suitable habitats to meet their needs.
If you can (1) buy pets from ethical sources, (2) provide a suitable environment with correct culture conditions, (3) only obtain the quantity of pets that you can properly take care of and (4) ensure that no pets escape into habitats in which they do not belong, then looking after weird and wonderful pets, and showing their life cycles and natural history stories to the next generation is an incredible way to inspire young minds and help nurture the next generation of naturalists, scientists and conservationists.

who else found a moth and now are emotionally attached
I named it clementine :)
I just got a moth yesterday,and now I’m trying to figure out how to have it as a pet
I found one, it’s sleeping on my finger 🥹
Me and my child! We named him too! ❤
I found a moth cocoon on the floor out side about a week ago and now it is in a container with damp paper towels and when it hatches I will put him/her into a big butterfly net/enclosure
i llove how gentle you are with the creatures. they deserve love and respect just as we do when we learn about them
Hi,
I found a gravid female giant 22cm Rain Moth in the Australian bush, struggling. It was a evening after a heavily humid day, and the rain was just about to pour. The area she was laying was about to be filled for a chicken yard.
I collected some eggs to save what I could, as she was laying, and have about a hundred or more of them of them sprinkled in the right sort of soil, saved in a sideways cut plastic 2l milk carton, rain sprinkled on, with the right roots buried, for the bardee grubs I read about, to eat after.
There were literally hundreds coming out of her, but they were hard to collect once down!
I moved her to safety once her paroxysms of laying were over, but she still fluttered on the ground alot, not flying normally. Hopefully normal post laying exhaustion and not permanant damage. We have a strong thing here against taking adult animals out of the Bush and turning them into pets unless actually visually broken and needing needing vet work, and she looked fine physically, huge with eggs at first, just not flying. I hope I did the right thing though.
Will I see when the eggs become grubs, and how long do I keep them in that wee tub please? How long between eggs and moth?
I'm looking up a recipe for vege mush but is there anything you can suggest feeding the grub stage for when the roots run out? I managed to dig up a strip of the right kind of tree root Google says they eat, but it wont be fresh by the time the eggs hatch/may be too hard?
Many thanks,
Dr Alicia Manolas
How did it go
What a sweet heart u have !!❤🎉Blessings, Respect & admiration from California ❤❤
Thank you for this beautiful video! I have Argema Mittrei Comet Moth still alive after 22 days now. They are cute and very kind they like to come and sit on hands. I love them❤
that's adorable!!
I just found a Caterpillar but it’s going to turn into a moth and I’m excited
Don't leave open water near caterpillars, tie a band and some plastic over the lid and puncture the plant steams through
thanks :)
My friends backyard has louds of catapillers so that means lots of butterfly's mines called lightside cause it is a white one
Thank you I have a rosy maple moth named Gerald and she’s so cute
I just got a little cutworm larva! I’m hoping he’ll grow to adulthood.
my pet butterfly just flies around the house and lands on plants yes its not dead
I rlly need help... My first time having a moth. He's a free flyer, my room is his enclosure, he flies where ever. And im worrying ab his scales coming off his back. More and more scale are falling off each day.. Top of his back is literally bare and u can see the red "skin"??? I think😭ahhh... Idk if thats bad...
I will tell you what's happening
The truth is, a butterfly sheds scales throughout its lifetime. Butterflies lose scales just by doing the things butterflies do: nectaring, mating, and flying. If you touch a butterflygently, it will lose some scales, but rarely enough to prevent it from flying.
I want to get a poodle moth
They don't exist, wooly moths do though.
Nazareth bruh they do but Scientist don’t have a lot of information about them
Poodle moths are just a type of fluffy silkmoth
I want to get a penis butterfly
@@TuberoseKisser they do.
Hey I got a question dude. My pet moth loses it's one antenna. Is he gonna be fine? Does it restores?
What type of moth is it? Did it grow back?
No they won't grow back and he'll be fine
R u dum it’s not a fricking lizzard
@@trixiemattelswig849 are you dumb that was a good question.
Cheese the cow fish b you think all lizards tail grow back or limbs? Lmao your mixing it up with a salamanders and newts
Just abducted a Rose petal moth today and I wanna keep it comfy till I preserve his corpse. V informative vid
today I found a white lined sphinx moth and now I’m here trying to figure out how to take care of it or how to get more and keep as pets 😂❤
I once got a huge allergic reaction when I touched a big, green, hairy caterpillar, which I would guess was about 1,2 cm long. It made me swell up, it gave me bumps over my whole body, and I could barely breathe.
This happened in The Netherlands (West Europe).
Does anybody know what kind of caterpillar this could have been?
Jona Claveaux yea there’s caterpillars that are hairy and are poisonous u shouldn’t have touched it 😂
May of been an Io moth caterpillar looking for a spot to spin it’s cocoon. They have toxic hairs as caterpillars, but are entirely harmless in pupa and moth stage.
I’m guessing it was an io caterpillar
I live there.... Should i be scared
I have a moth that dint climb upside down when the wings where still wet for it to be inflated but it dried with being inflated so I decided to take care of it .
Thank you! this helped alot.
I needed this i have a pet moth named fred
Found a moth in the rain and couldn't fly no more so brought it in now it layed so many eggs now feel I must take care of all and have no clue what to do!
I found a large yellow underwing moth cacoon, and it was dark reddish brown and was in the soil, and I'm keeping it as a pet. do I water it?
4:55 is it me or for a split second it looked like he wanted to eat that catpiller
If i get one im naming it dustox
Lovely video, i found a tiny caterpillar on my basil from the farmers market an re-homed it. Its pupated and turned into a moth last night. After much research I believe it's a ermine moth. Any idea what I could feed it and do you think its a good idea to set it free..Ive put some fruit and honey water in a damp paper towel. Need some help. Im emotionally attached but know it should be free to spread its wings. 😢❤.. any recommendations from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
H e h , with my monarch butterfly Spirit, I ran out of milkweed right before they pupated..
Despite of their successful and glittering appearance, Moths have a miserable short life compare to butterflies!
HEY BOYS,,, YA BOIS GONNA BE A PRINCESS
Where can one purchase a cage like that one??
How do I feed it idk what type it is 🤔
Just look it up not all moths eat the same thing
@@saturniidmoff 1year later thats gonna help ;)
When I had a moth, its cocoon looked like a turd. (It was a wooly bear caterpillar/Isabella tiger moth )
Some random...moth? Butterfly? Not sure, left eggs on my pants TF DO I DO
Don't remove them if you don't mind! Butterflies/moths usually lay eggs on a plant that will feed the caterpillars so they should be fine and able to grow up if you don't disturb them :) if you don't want them DO NOT touch the eggs if possible as they are very fragile, instead cut off the leaf and place it outside on the same plant species. Hope that helps! Lmk if you have more questions :)
I accidently killed my pet moth, now I feel guilty. I flushed him down the toilet, because he was suffering. I had to make it quick. I want a replacement, but they all keep flying away. I tried with plain brown moths, so maybe that's why. I looked up "A pet moth" So I could learn how to keep one. The guilt of killing that moth is still on my mind. I named him Harry. One day, I accidently hit Harry. He landed on the floor. He was twitching a lot, and he could only move a little. He then just stopped moving, and started twitching a lot more. I had to flush him. It was the best option for him. I still miss him. Hopefully he's doing good up in heaven. Oh Harry... :'(
Instead of flushing please put them in the freezer! It’s a much more relaxing and calming death
how did you accidently hit him , sorry for prying if it makes makes you uncomfortable no pressure!!srythx alot charlotte:)
It would probably be a lot better for you to just crush them with your hand my spider was in pain and I put it down with my foot.
my moth died to but of just being old for 3 weeks he was old
oh no thats so tragic im sorry im sure harry's okay in moth heaven
I am just here coz I gotta jumping spider online and I tried spider with flies, crickets, wax worms, meal worms and aim the spider eats is fruit flies so I want to know how I can look after these wonderful creatures
What oleander hawkmoth eat?
Oleander
This is not a good video on how to keep moths. It was just about the life cycle of moths. I wasted 7:44 seconds of my life to hear some shizz nizz that I learned in 3rd grade.
It was though, this video was a general care video told you what container to put them in how to get livestock
And how to keep cocoons if you want specific information on moth and butterfly rearing please go to Bart Coppens channel full of information
He also has a three part series on how raise them
Part one eggs and caterpillars
Part two cocoons and adults
Part three how to and where to buy livestock
I mean really though what did you expect from a seven minute video I can give you and half an hour lecture on caterpillar raising alone
I found a very small moth and her wings wer badly bent so i have been taking care of her
こんなのを好きなだけ飼育出来たら楽しいだろうなぁ。うらやましい限り。
I REALLY WÄNT Ä MÖTH

It is sad that most lepidoptera have quite short adult life spans
Edit: Like my favorite lepidoptera the luna moth they are, so pretty
Hey. I am keeping a Cabbage Looper Moth. Is there a way to feed it?
mix 3 parts of water to 1 part sugar. this will act as nectar for the moth :)
Matt The Claymation Man
Thx.
You can mix suger and water until its dissolved or you can of corse use humming bird necter, i seguest useing s paper towel or sponge so the butterfly/month won't drown or get hurt. Or stuck even in the liquid. I also if you do it right somtimes u can use a toothpick to get the probosus or the tongue mind you out and move it to the liquid for it to eat.
Cicadas are Beautiful to

I got a Atlas month Today evening in my house
Liked this video. But then I started to write a negative comment about how little of it was actually about the only reason I was watching. Aaaaaaaaannnnd........ theeen..... I changed it to a dislike.
You guys are making great videos! Good filmography, good editing, good information.
....
But.
You guys need to either focus more on the actual topic and in much more detail or spend more time considering what to name your videos.
Praise the LORD for creating moths.
I usually like to breed one butterfly species called Vanessa Cardiu or the painted lady since they are common and easy to obtain I hope I can domesticate them and maybe shape turn them into more docile less scared butterflies
My moth burned his wings will he be fine
Pls respond i wanna put him wild back
He probably won't be able to go back in the wild. He won't fly properly so he'll just die
Intro is so long
