Re: [GSAS-Member] Butterflies... local creatures to raise

Susan,
Chances are that the big grubs are ten-lines June beetles. We have
them in our area.

They are neat critters!

I totally understand Matt. I do however, have a chrysalis I found in
the dirt under a birch tree. I think it got knocked off the tree
somehow. I don't know how it got there, if it's alive or what. I did
find some huge grubs while digging the plot of new garden, living
under the moss. I don't think they're army worms and I'm not sure if
this chrysalis is what they are.

Please, leave the amphibians alone. Don't raise butterflies. Let them
do what they're designed to do.

 

You're not doing them any good by collecting them from their fragile
habitates.

 

Provide more terrain (native plants, and removal of exotic introduced
species), and you'll do better for them than bringing them indoors to
gawk at.

 

Sorry, just got back from Florida. What an eco-disaster that state is.


 

Matt
