How to raise butterflies? Introduction to the breeding methods of butterflies!

Butterfly is a common insect, its species differentiation is very many, there are different species distribution in various parts of our country, butterfly has a very beautiful appearance, now our country also has many butterfly gardens for people to visit, which also brings the development of butterfly breeding industry, butterfly breeding is also an inevitable trend in our country, so how to cultivate butterflies? Introduction to the breeding methods of butterflies!

I. site construction

Before breeding butterflies, it is necessary to choose a good breeding site, and butterflies like light, so when choosing a breeding farm, you should choose humid areas with normal light, normal ventilation, deep soil and sufficient fertility. do not choose in vegetable gardens, orchards and other crop planting areas. Because butterflies absorb pollen and the flesh of crops, which is very disadvantageous to the growth of crops. After selecting a breeding farm, prepare rearing equipment similar to sericulture facilities, and control the height. Nylon nets are needed around and at the top of the breeding shed to prevent butterflies from escaping.

2. Selection and incubation of species

When selecting butterfly species, you can mainly collect butterfly eggs, pupae and adults in the wild, or you can also buy them from special breeding units and individuals. when selecting species, you should have the main species and true or false, so as to avoid being unsuitable for your own breeding direction. if you catch it yourself, then you should pay attention to the pairing of male and female, or if it is in the spawning period, we can capture it according to the living habits of the female butterfly. Usually, female butterflies like to lay eggs in the gaps between leaves, fruits and branches. after capture, we should prepare the spawning place for butterflies in the breeding room according to the living habits of butterflies, pay attention to humidity during the spawning period and cover them properly with a wet cloth. when the humidity is too low, it will reduce the hatching rate.

3. Planting flowers

Butterflies feed mainly on pollen after molting, so when butterflies hatch, we should properly plant flowers in the shed, apply rotten farm manure and compound fertilizer before planting, deeply plough the soil, keep the depth of ploughing at about 30cm, and fully mix the bottom fertilizer with the soil. Flowers are mainly Umbelliferae flowers, keep sufficient pollen and nectar, and provide sufficient food for the growth of butterflies. Ensure that butterflies lay eggs normally and prepare for larvae to pupate, so as to prevent the lack of pollen and nectar from affecting the growth and reproduction of butterflies.

IV. Feeding and management

The feeding and management of butterflies is divided into larvae and adults. The feed of butterfly larvae is mainly composed of plant leaves, stems, flowers and fruits. During feeding, they can be collected and placed somewhere for feeding. To control the feeding density of the larvae, they should not be too dense, because some species of butterflies are murderous. If they are too dense, they may lead to the death of a large number of larvae, and the larvae can begin to pupate when they grow for about a week. After pupation, keep the pupated objects moist, break the cocoon after a period of time, and provide enough food for butterflies after adulthood. The main food is water, honey and milk, and the feed should be properly adjusted according to different varieties.

The above is a brief introduction to the butterfly culture technology of Tuliu.com. At present, butterfly culture still has great risks, because there is no specific market after breeding, and if it is mainly ornamental, the popularity of the butterfly garden is not enough. Therefore, we must carefully consider when breeding, not blind breeding.
