Re: Happy New Year 2024
Yes.
I already have a good start without even leaving the house. 2 new Genus/species of livestock, in fact some of my newly purchased ova
hatched this morning. Now I need the luck.
Best wishes to everyone. Good bye '23, I'm not going to miss it.

What do you feed them? Do you have leafed plants outdoors this time of year?

Re: Happy New Year 2024
I'm glad you asked Chuck.
This species is eating Ligustrum japonica, at last I have found a use for this
plant I bought years ago for a different species.
I do have a number of leafy evergreens that have proved useful in the past as well,
Eucalyptus gunni, olive, an evergreen oak, ceanothus, and the unusually named Prunus lusitanica- if I spelled that correctly.
There is also Wax myrtle all over the area here.
The larva seem to be eating well, and I will post some pictures later on.
Here in our coastal climate many annuals never die, Fuchsia is one that keeps going year after year, we have a few plants still
with random flowers, keeping the hummingbirds in nectar, the eucalyptus is blooming now and they also drink from those flowers.
