So now we have babies, what do we feed them? Moth caterpillars are very particular about what they eat. Most species eat only one or two specific plants, otherwise - they die.
But I don't know which moth laid these eggs!
Well, if Mniotype Satura overwinters as an egg, then it's probably not this one.
Xestia might have hatched but I have no idea what plant to feed it.
If it's Abrostola, it will eat nettles. Almost all Abrostolas eat nettles.
So I went out and found a nettle and voilla! They liked it!
In this video the caterpillar is 3 days old.
I guess they are Abrostolas then, if they eat nettles?
