Hello all,
I found a elephant hawk moth larvae in my garden sometime last summer. It formed a cocoon not long after I took it. I found out from various websites that it would spend a good few months in it's cocoon state before emerging in late May, however, it has hatched today half way through January. I'm unsure as to why, possibly the conditions I kept it in were too warm. Anyhow, what would be the best option for me to keep it alive until summer time to ensure it completes it's cycle?
Many thanks
