Subject: [iris] CULT:Borer Moth and Eggs
This September John Bruce and I collected several borer pupa. They were
placed
in a 3 gallon aquarium. It had a screen top, dirt, dead iris leaves and
on
planted rhizome with green leaves.
I saw that they had hatched out and moths were dead. Today I remembered
to
check for eggs. I found 6 moths and one old borer casing. There were 8
pupa
placed in the aquarium.
What happened to the other borer casings? The ends of the moths wings
were
missing. I would imagine from beating against the metal screen on the
cover.
One moth was ok photo attached.
I found two patches of eggs. Most are transparent which should be good
eggs. I
have raised tropical fish and know that unfertile eggs turn opaque white.
Photo shows white eggs.
Photos showing both patches and one showing close up. One
