If you want to know its OK next spring try gently touching, say from May. and it should twitch.
When that started to occur I opened the container lid and covered it with an umberella style cake cover (it can be seen in the posted image). Then check on it a couple of times a day. The whole thing is marvellous - we've all read about it but to see it happen is great. Any children involved will enjoy it but it is a long wait. Another poster recently did what you're about to do and has discovered she's pregnant and the baby will arrive before the moth |
Well my son was well happy when he got back from his walk with friends today and he's had 'Denzel' (he likes Only Fools and Horses lol!
) walking about on his hands and is fascinated with it
Yes, I've got an expandable cake cover, so that will be usefull when the time comes!
Don't quite get you about the other poster discovering they have one that's pregnant
Thanks for the tips rscott!
GuyF - I've got Rosebay Willowherb in the tank and fushia, but it still doesn't seem interested in eating so far.
Dogghound - have I got a 'big one' then lol!
What's the difference if you don't mind me asking? Any particular different characteristics?
