You have the best videos Bart. I have learned so much from you.

[@Yellowswift3]

Beautiful creatures. Keep up the great work. :)

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Why on earth has KZbin permanently demonetized your channel? I can't think of anything controversial in a channel about butterflies! Is it against their rules to use TubeBuddy?

[@StinkyDustyBird]

IAMGiftbearer I bet it’s tubebuddy. He said copyright music, well, remove the music. Or it’s both

I just rescued a butterfly yesterday with torn wing. Amy advice?

You was in the news today Bart. Now i am interest in all of ur vids ❤

[@saturniidmoff]

Hey how long does it take for Actias moth species to go from one o star to the next (when there ready to do it and there head capsule is outgrown)

[@readanencyclopedia3381]

You are wonderful! Thank you for sharing this with all of us!

[@alimuzza8994]

My 3 year old son absolutely loves watching you and your butterflies! He has learnt so much from your videos and now calls himself a bug expert 😊 Thank you!

[@narinehmay]

Hi I found some noctuidae catterpillars on my plants. Anyone know how to take care of them as moths?

[@kahfre3694]

I'm raising different moth caterpillars, you are an awesome inspiration.

Hello Bart, a well done video which I enjoyed very much 👍👍👍

[@BartCoppens]

Thank you! Since this year I have learnt to edit my videos more.

[@bluepine5590]

Wow you have so much fun! Nice video thank you.

[@arham006_2]

How often do you need to feed them?

[@bugboyzrock]

Great video!!

[@DaniCat99]

Thank you, Bart!! I've been struggling with feeding forever and was about to give up. My tiger swallowtail was freaking out and refused to feed for days but I just followed your directions and he is now loving the honey. Yay 😍

[@ethancolmancomposer]

How long did it live?

[@DaniCat99]

@@ethancolmancomposer they usually live a week or two, sometimes longer. I had one survive over a month. The ones that overwinter as pupae seem to really thrive and live long. Virgin individuals also live longer. I was able to breed them last year which was so exciting :)

[@Faith_Over_Fear_OG]

You have more followers! YAY!!! I love that your butterflies are celebrities!!! I wish we had butterflies for celebrities than some of the people who are "celebrities" in the United States. 😁 They're beautiful, natural, and pure!!! Well done Bart!!! Well done! God bless you! 💖

[@r.t.gearon1245]

The man, the legend, Bart Coppens everyone.

[@themagician9725]

Do butterflies get attached to human if you pet them

[@BartCoppens]

Sadly no but I love them regardless

[@ethancolmancomposer]

I think they start to recognize your scent and they become very tame. At least, that’s my experience.

[@prettybird2588]

Bart, I'm in Atlanta Ga I started a native plant garden just for butterflies this is my first year and my fall nectar source is slim pickings right now and I have about 20 Gulf Fritillary caterpillars that will need a nectar source once they emerge. Should I have a honey nectar source available to them until they are able to fly and search on their own?

[@BartCoppens]

You can release them immediately. After hatching from their pupae butterflies do not need to eat for the first few days.

[@markescueta]

thanks bart really helpful.🙂

[@yasmeenbano3999]

Love your videos kid, keep it up!!

[@desertratconnieconstance8557]

U are a good person bart. I can see why u love ur work so much. TankQ for the wonderful image's. DRC. ;)

[@markescueta]

how do you breed paper kite butterflies tho??? (idea luconoe)🤔😄

[@fatynunes1986]

Beautiful butterflies 💙🦋

[@thimoschreiber4275]

I have doleschallia bisaltida and they dont seem to feed on my Honey Water solution. what else could i give this species? Where i keep my Butterflys theres no sun light, could that be a problem to?

[@Skynexbox]

Hi Bart, I have a Red Admiral butterfly at home with an injured wing joint. She seems active and ok otherwise, but in the past few days I noticed the edges of her wings are losing the dark brown coloring on the bottom side. The top side of the wings in the same place are still brightly colored, the color loss is only on the bottom side. Do you have any explanation of this and what I can do about it? Cheers

[@tinca66]

Oh... that's why some moths like to chow on my "sweaty" hands. 🤣

[@Natashahoneypot]

What is the most species you have ever had living in one go?

[@BartCoppens]

About 15 I think, if you only count the imago. About 50 if you also count other life stages.

[@Alexsgarcia93]

thanks you for the video Bart!

[@DripApe]

i want to start to pet butterflies and i actually dont have any knowledge of that hobby, sounds very fun and butterflies are very cute

[@hawwanazla9966]

Help.. my butterflies are not drinking.. I tried honey syrup and orange juice..

[@Bullen_3]

Thank you! I found a butterfly with a dammaged wing and need to feed her.

[@Polstok2025]

Ive never heard of synthetic honey... It's not commonly sold in stores if at all..??

[@BartCoppens]

'Fake honey' is used to describe small amounts of real honey that have been mixed with various other less expensive sugars and syrups. It's more common than you think

[@Polstok2025]

[@ethancolmancomposer]

I did get heliconians to hatch and they are pretty difficult aren’t they?

[@AlexDoghead]

Thanks! I decided to raise some butterflies at the summer.

[@missanna208802]

I really hope you read this. I raised some local monarch eggs..one has a split proboscis so she would starve in the wild. I dont mind trying to hand feed her, but she fights me when I try and..she is odd when she tries to eat. I will try to get a video of this. Seeing her in a cage is the saddest thing

[@BartCoppens]

Maybe she needs to be euthanised?

[@J.M247]

how often it needs to eat?

[@jessicaderosa9625]

How can i start? I live in germany ( hoping to move to Bali soon) but i would love to start peting insects

[@hazirwanrifat4586]

i wish i can breed all insects like butterflies, moths, dragonflies and more insects.

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

15:20 - "papilio ophidicephalus"? 🤨 Where's the snake-head on that butterfly? 🤔

[@BartCoppens]

The scientific name is a reference to the snake like caterpillar, not the butterfly

[@МаксимКоролёв-о7о]

- +Demoleus,nireus,pilumnus, characses brutus.

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

Ah okay. I recall seeing another butterfly or moth that did have what looked like snake-heads on its wings and thought this was the same one.

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

I find it fascinating that some Lepidopterists use fish sauce in the mix they use to feed their insects. It reminds me of videos and images I’ve seen from the Amazon River of butterflies feeding on the corpses of fish that have washed up on the riverbank. Have you ever tried using it?

[@saturniidmoff]

Would happen to know the host plant of copiopteryx

[@BartCoppens]

Manilkara zapota

[@saturniidmoff]

No clue what that is or where to get it but I’ll try my best

[@BartCoppens]

Not possible outside of the tropics

[@saturniidmoff]

That sucks but thanks for the answer

[@Polstok2025]

I've followed the steps but my butterflies WON'T EAT!!!!!!!!! They just refuse to even stick thier proboscis out... I've tried many species nymphalidae,papilionidae,pieridae and they just all refuse no matter what food I give them... I think butterflies just like you because you're the S. Moth king!

[@bella-ug2lx]

Hi Bart! I want to start raising caterpillars and then releasing them later in their life. I don’t know the correct way to house them though, would a ten gallon tank be okay for the time I have them or do they need something more/ different? Thank you!

[@BartCoppens]

[@falkeinenkel5179]

Hello Bart, does this also work with sliced kiwi fruit, oranges and bananas? Do they have to be a bit overripe? If the moths do not suck themselves, should I roll out the trunk with a needle? Greetings from germany Falk

[@BartCoppens]

Fruit works, but they do not like Citrus fruits - too acidid. However, banana can be perfect.
