Large Pupa for a Large Moth

If you want an idea of how big these moths can get, look at this observation. Sadly I've never come across one the adult moths myself.

Cossus cossus. The Goat moth. This moth gets is name from the musty ‘goat like’ smell the caterpillar gives off. Now I don’t know about you, but I can see quite an evil face here, can you? #jennascuriocabinet #cossuscossus #cossidae #lepidoptera #mothsofinstagram #moths #goatmoth #oddities #curiocabinet #cabinetofcuriosities #butterfliesofig #mothsofig #butterflyartwork https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVcxm7q05R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Found a new caterpillar today. It was at the bottom of the vase with a maple branch in it. In water, but still alive.

So I took the caterpillar, I used Google Lens to identify it, turns out it’s Zeuzera Pyrina.

Which is bad.

No, not the caterpillar!

The fact that it’s that kind of it.

Because wood-eating.

And a pest.

So basically far as I googled, there’s no instructions on raising those - only on killing them or preventing them from infesting trees.

So I put it in the jar, gave it some pieces of the branch (the flowers and leaves wilted anyway already, and mom prepared to throw it out when I noticed the caterpillar, so it was okay for me to break off a few pieces), but it’ll probably die because I have no idea how to really care for it. My only caterpillar-raising experience was with a Noctua comes caterpillar, which don’t live inside of what they’re eating (and also require no special diet. Long as you have lettuce in your fridge and roses in your flower pots you’re fine).

...

Okay. Still no info about raising this particular species, but I’ve found something about raising cossidae moths in general and some photos of how Cossus cossus larvae are kept.

So now I’m cutting pieces of branches into the jar to provide something it can eat AND burrow in. Also, according to the info I found, some species accept leaves and fruit, so I’ll give it a piece of apple and hope for the best.

...

Apple: offered (the caterpillar so far shows no interest. But it may be because it’s not used to the whole situation yet. Pretty sure my previous one didn’t start eating right away either).

Branches: sliced and mixed with a little bit of soil (for volume).

Caterpillar: back in the jar.

So, here it is, with its makeshift substrate and its slice of apple. I decided not to force it to show its face, so all you can see is its butt, sorry. Pretty sure nearly drowning and being placed into a jar was enough shock for it already, no need to add to it.
