>Try STONEFLY diet for PL's, also you can use it for Buckeyes and Gulf
Frits with about 50% success.  For PL's it is foolproof.  They grow very
large and bright, if you put 3-4 in an 8-oz. cup with 1/4" diet in the
bottom of the cup.  Put a coffee filter on then the lid and they will go
through chrysalis by themselves and attach to filter.  Then just hang up
the filter in an emergence cage.

>StoneFly is in dry form and you add water.  Recipe on label says to add
vinegar but I never do.  This stuff is great and has long shelf life.  You
mix it up like stiff cooky dough.  You use it as you need it and is never
wasted.

sort of (bacterial?) problem in their diet earlier this year, but that it
was resolved.
