Hi GW, h/w an update: unfortunately, the eggs didn't hatch, but the larvae have done real well. I put them in the box that you shipped them in and added scrapes. It's hard to tell what they liked best, but I know they liked potatoes. Yesterday I was going to clean out the box and move them and was surprised at how well they have done. I probably have about 150+ with about 20 in the brown stage. The strange thing was that when I cleaned out the little box there were only about 20-30, and I was about to throw the box away when I riped open a corner of the corrugated box and there were some hidden in there. The more I tore open the more I found (at least 100-125). Some were in moist areas and some hard climbed up the corrugated "tube" into the upper dry area. I moved them to another box that wasn't sealed properly and they immediately went for the openings and escape. As of this morning I still haven't seen any adults - my container is in a shaded area. Should I let some of the brown ones loose and hope they come back and lay eggs? Move the container to a more sunny area? Any other suggestions?
Thanks, randy


Just do it...
