I've raised caterpillars since i was 11 and at 21 i still find it fascinating to see the whole life cycle of moths & butterflies:D great video!
+AProudCatLover omg same! :') thank you!
very cool:) glad i'm not the only woman who likes raising insects:)
Hi we have lime green hawk moths that we are hoping will hatch some time soon this month we had had them about 8 month too c
hi i know this was ages ago but i just found one and im not sure how i water it while its not crisalised
@@leopardgeckotalk I’ve tried to message you on insta pleade can you help me I have a elephant hawk moth that’s been trying to get out of his chrysalis. I’ve had her for 8 half months and I’m desperate for advice. The wings and her head is our now but the chrysalis is stuck on her body onlu and no improvement with her removing it :( can you help me, I’m desperate for advice. Do I need to lightly mist the chrysalis??
after it comes out of the cocoon it craps allover the place. just so u know.
+Adam Moore hahaa, yep he did! so much stuff!
Adam Moore - It's not crap, its extra body fluid that is used to pump into it's wings.
I currently have 2 hornworm pupaes turning into hawkmoths possibly in June(I had more but died from mold sadly) and indeed spraying them with water will help them. I stuck them in eco earth because hornworms tend to burrow themselves in the dirt to metamorphosize. they're possibly going to hatch around June possibly!
hope yours come out safe and healthy!
Great video ! and very ‘informative‘ my caterpillar recently buried itself under the peat in my potted fuchsia which is on the windowsill in my kitchen. hopefully it will hatch out next spring I always water the plant every few days so the soil is usually damp so everything should be ok my pine hawk moth hatched out ok so hopefully this one should can’t wait to see this moth it looks amazing🙂
I can't wait for it to hatch out! I totally want some elephant hawk moth catapillers to hatch out!
Aw how cute!❤️ hope it hatches soon :D
Hi there I absolutely love the way you care so much about Harry tne moth. He/she is a beautiful colour. It's been interesting watching him/her develop. I didn't really know anything about these moths until I found several massive elephant hawk moth catapillas in the garden. Loved your video. I have subscribed
Don't let dry out - correct, should be under one inch of peat, but leave now!
Helpful vid for my lil cats, thanks
I live in Australia and I have Pale Brown Hawk Moths and my last 2 haven't come out of their chrysalis but I think because it's Autumn they'll wait until Spring. They get so so fat while they're caterpillars.
I have 3 in captivity at the moment, they are still in catepilla stage, due to the hot weather I am misting them every couple of hours and they are feeding on Fusia plants, looking forward to see them as moths in May, good video and very informative
I have one, had it nearly 7 months, still waiting. Can't wait for it to come out of its cysallist.
I found a larva the other day but decided to let it go right away. Oh how I wish i would have kept it and see it transform!
I have just homed an elephant hawk moth caterpillar. It's been in the same spot in the garden for 3 days. He's in a tub with plenty of fuschia leaves, soil, stones, bark, and an apple twig. Will see how he goes.
How did it go?
@@smileyface245 great - he/ she was released after a day indoors.
Those lines near the eyes are the antennae. :)
I just found one, twice length of yours ( feb in Spain). It wiggled but reburied it
You should do fairy shrimp. I catch those in local creeks and streams and take care of them
so stupid question, then again I don't raise these things so I should randomly know this, but since it can wiggle around while being transformed into a moth, why doesn't it die from lack of food? or is that why larva eat nonstop so they have enough food stored up for the long 7-month chrysalis?
Robbert Nyhan it eats non stop in its larval stage so it has enough energy to complete its metamorphosis. The wriggles are a method of deterring predators and doesn't use that much energy and only does it when they feel threatened or are close to emergence to stretch out a bit
Yay can't wait
I've just found one in May, still alive and is getting lighter in colour but he's still not come out!
please may you do a video on why lights are bad for crested geckos to convince my uncle.
love your videos
wooo so cool when u sprayed it :)
+BRICKTOP yeah as you can tell I was pretty surprised haha
Hay hes back
We have one at the moment will give it a spray good luck
Keep pupae very very very slightly damp, or they will dehydrate, and give them at least an inch of peat to bury into, they pupate under the soil, unlike in the video - sorry!
There was snow the the day in England? Here in Wales it's like boiling!
+Oscar Wainwright yeah fortunately we didn't get snow but I know surrounding areas did, but I did film this a week or two ago. Since then its just been boiling :)
Excited 😬😬
Ever seen a wild lizard here before? I have! And I had no idea you found these moths in the UK...
+Eadric Shannon only when I was on holiday. I know we have one or two native lizards here but never seen them before.
Leopard Gecko What I spotted was a "common" or viviparous lizard. I walked past it as it was busy sunning itself on a tree-stump...but the HOLY GRAIL of lizards to spot here in the UK would be the sand lizard. Pretty sure they're only found on the south coast, and you sound like a southerner so... x)
I have found one at a camp in megernie Scotland. I am not certain but I think is wasn't a newt or something like that because it had a thin tail. I have not done the research so please correct me if I'm wrong. It was a dark green colour and was about as long as an adults finger from head to tail
I'm not going to look up what they look like as a moth, I can't wait to see what it looks like
+Albino Tortoise you wont have to wait too much longer :)
Leopard Gecko Yay! I can't wait
Great video, I forgot about this guy lol.
I currently have one of these but it's gone a little soft . I cant find anything online about it , I hope it hasn't died 😔
I wonder if that's what I have. Found this reddish pupae in the dirt after my dad found it rolling off a leaf in the garden. Been trying to keep it moist in the jar, but would it be best to add dirt? I know it's still alive as it flinched when I touched it. Live in a desert area, so any advice would be helpful! ^^
Amazing video did you expose Harry to cold?
I love your videos so much
+David Prcev aw thank you!
+Leopard Gecko :)
lol I'm sure it's still alive....2 years later...
I have got an elephant hawk moth it was a caterpillar Sept last year before it changed looked like it is but but apparently it takes seven months omg another two months nearly but am sure it well worth the wait what do I do with her when she has hatched ??
Hi wow thanx for these videos, I found one a week ago and now it shrank and it's under some leaves and flowers in a transparent box. I will keep it until it hatches. I wonder what temperature is good for the pupa phase? Like, is it ok if it's in the room around 18 degrees and can I touch it or just to leave it how it is? Should I change leaves around or no, since the caterpillar is not moving and eating anymore? I'm very excited :).
That's so cool! Will you release it when it hatches? :)
+iseslc yep :) as much as id love to keep it, it must complete its purpose in life and find a mate
+Leopard Gecko I'm so happy that you are :D
Becareful, could find a mate or its predator, Bats or Birds

My little dude isn't moving :(
Hi is there any way I can email you about a moth pupa I have? It looks exactly like this one in the video I just have a few questions about keeping it safe
cool
What editing software do you use? and how did you make your channel art? TIA :)
luv ur. vids
+Rayli Hall thank you :D
What types of leafs and food should I feed this one?
the moth should emerge when it goes dark blue/blackish, so if it goes that colour don't worry😊
+Beenjamin Bingham doesn't that depend on what pattern will be on its wings? for example painted butterflies will show up red, with black spots, because you can see its wings through the chrysalis.
In what exact place can you find them?
+Fabian Ziora Britain? I guess, hahaa. Probably north America? You may have to google it.
Do an update on all your geckos
+Lawson hudon Im sure she will follow that order as soon as she reads it Lawson....
+Lawson hudon haha I appreciate your enthusiasm for my geckos but I plan, film, edit, produce atleast 4 videos at one time, its crazy, so you may have to wait lol. I usually give updates on my weigh-in vids that I do at the end of each month.
Where did you buy them
Can I contact you about a moth I have this exact same one?
Don't handle!
U post it in 12 mai ?!?!??!!? 2016
My auntie has an elephant hawk cocoon and they can sting
Remember not to help it hatch or the moths muscles won't develop correctly
+Matt Irons yep, I mean I've left it long enough, I wouldn't want to mess it up at the last hurdle :)
I did that once as a kid because I had it as a caterpillar and watched it do everything and finally hatch out because I was worried it would die and the moth ended up having a gimpy wing but it was so friendly...it would just sit on me happily and it lived for quite a while as I remember and my friends thought it was amazing that I actually hatched my own from a caterpillar (back before kits were a thing and I just did it straight from nature)
Early
Are u in the futur
