Keep reading These are my favorite insects to raise and are very responsive and charming! The caterpillars have different ‘personalities’, at least different eating and sleeping habits and different reactions to my approach. The adults are less jumpy if the caterpillars are raised with some interaction.They can eat any kind of citrus, but some caterpillars (again, individuals vary) will not change leaf types after hatching and feeding for a few days on their natal leaf. Their growth speed depends on the ambient temperature. In the summer they can go from egg to wing in 30 days. -- source link
