erflies are hatched, believe it or not, there's 21 in the cage, I still am unsure how to overwinter
them.
Without more information, I'm going to keep them for a few days in the cage, try to feed them, and then they'll have to
go into storage. The worst that could happen I suppose is I have a bunch of deadstock in the spring.

You're not alone. Just two years ago I read here "antiopa" and thought someone misspelled it. Now, I'd read this name repeatedly for the past fifty years, but had been spelling and speaking it "antopia".
