I am interested in finding out how to trap a female moth or butterfly without
harming her in hopes of getting some eggs. My experiences with raising
butterflies have so far been limited to vagrant caterpillars and the little
Black Swallowtails from my parsley each year, and I would love to see the
whole cycle from egg to adult. How do you attract, catch, and keep them, and
what should they be provided with in order to lay eggs? How should the eggs be
kept, and do they need anything special to hatch- certain humidity, etc.?
