As it is currently winter here in MN, finding foodplants has been interesting. Do you have a list of what you fed them, or a list of what yours did NOT feed on? Mine are currently growing on carrot, cilantro, and romaine lettuce. They have also fed on celery leaves, but refused kale and spinach.<br />Thanks! <br />Thomas<br />wcbpolish@gmail.comwcbpolishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486666805847771686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-1972111854940412102011-03-27T21:02:43.938-07:002011-03-27T21:02:43.938-07:00Oh, and I see the operatic blue lady creature from...Oh, and I see the operatic blue lady creature from The Fifth Element movie in the eggs.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-23028034179579023152011-03-27T20:55:51.058-07:002011-03-27T20:55:51.058-07:00Funny, Jeannette.

It doesn't help that there are various insect body parts left hanging in the webs, mainly dark brown termite wings. I'm not sure if I should be worried yet since the termites could have come from the neighbors.<br /><br />Erica, I now wish I hadn't destroyed the dandelion shoots in my compost. If her eggs hatch this season, I'm not sure I'll have enough plant material to feed them. And, yes, I've raised a colony of Limatus durhamii, a pretty tropical mosquito in the sabethine tribe for my research advisor. I think he was sadistic, as he was also my medical entomology professor and twice asked to have bed bugs feed on us during lecture to demonstrate the Jones-Motes levels of hypersensitivity. Btw, you can't feel bed bugs feeding.Katie (Nature ID)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17730655720390625839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210757346121712556.post-65082407125003814502010-10-22T20:31:02.853-07:002010-10-22T20:31:02.853-07:00What an exotic beauty!

I'm glad you saved her from the webs - I don't brush mine down either since I think the spiders do a good job around the place. :)<br /><br />I hope her eggs hatch for you.
