The Life Cycle Of A Hornworm…and my unexpected friendship with a moth

[@tripski4437]

As a person who works in a lab with North American pest moths, such as Corn ear worms, fall armyworms, southern armyworms, european corn borers, and soybean loopers, just be careful with how many you release. We cannot legally release any and ours must be frozen at -20 C, but if they are native, releasing one or three isnt going to harm much as long as the relases are fairly spaced out. Dont want to causing a pest infestation in others garden and them resorting to pesticide.

[@impunitythebagpuss]

This is how invasive species get a foothold! I think tomato hornworms are native...they devastated our garden one year in Toronto in the 70s...Never heard of feeding them to cats and dogs though!

[@sarahkirbach5040]

Thanks so much for saying this

[@LoveIsVitalEverlasting]

@tripski4437 even one or two is an issue if she is actively showing others that it is OK. It will spark like wild fire, similarly to Finding Nemo being released in theaters. A movie about leaving the species be, sparked an entire species (clown fish) to dwindle from spikes in sales because most children and their parents actively ignored the message in the movie and wanted one anyways.

If you bought it from a pet store, you should not release it into the wild. There are laws in place against things like that, you can throw off a whole ecosystem. Just like how pythons got released in flordia and now they have a huge python problem.

[@Beg_cry]

I think it’s a joke 🐀

[@LoveIsVitalEverlasting]

I hope anyone seeing his video doesn't copy the same ideas. Most of the species in petstores are sold purely for feeding animals, so hatching and releasing them is dangerous on an entire ecosystem depending on where you live. Some bugs will even kill trees or important species that biodiversity in the ecosystem depend on to stay alive, so it can litterally wipe out entire ecosytems. Not to mention it seems like it's life was pretty depressing regaurdless of not getting eaten by a lizard, whether she was trying to help or not. Even buying from petstores in general, if you truly care about a species leave them be. The petstore will profit from your purchase and buy more after. Don't buy from a petstore if you don't believe in their black market pets or keeping a species thriving. Humans have ruined entire species derived from the rainforest due to the buying and selling of certain species in petstores, because they are so sought after. Just for the animals to be put in cages and terrariums for most of their lives, many of them dying either on their way to the petstore through shipping or before they have even been purchased because they aren't properly able to care for them all.

Additionally I think this is her second time releasing a specific species that is, or could be, invasive (I could be mistaken), and proceeding to not address the comments informing her on her mistake. Even worse that she’s posting it to a relatively large following of people which entices people to want to do what she is doing. I just wish she would address that these animals and critters should not be released unless you know that they are not invasive to your area. No hate just wish there was a little more accountability on her part.

If you want to hatch butterflies, you can buy actual butterfly caterpillars online. These moths are invasive and could bring unbalance to the ecosystem in your area. Please don't go back to the pet store and buy more if you plan to release them. They're also pests. They obviously like eating crops, so that wouldn't be good for local farmers if they get into their yard. People don't buy these blue caterpillars to feed to their dogs or cats. They feed them to their reptiles, like lizards and snakes, or they even feed them to their tarantulas. I don't think a cat or dog would want to eat a caterpillar. They might, but idk if they'd benefit from them...

Butterflies and moths are covered in very fine tiny wing scales , which most people think is powder, and while petting them very gently once in awhile isn't harmful, you have to keep in mind that if too many of their scales are disturbed it can lead to their wing tearing and then an inability to fly.

Is it just me or do they look like the caterpillar from "A Bugs Life" lol

[@FallenAngel-cw6ip]

One time at my mom’s friend garden I found a green caterpillar and begged my mom to take it home, a matter of days and it turned into a chrysalis, turned out to be an amazing butterfly. I freed it almost immediately after we saw it hatched, flew away with no problems. I know butterflies don’t live that long but I hope it had an amazing life, even if short.

The sad part is I have a leopard gecko. I’m not feeding her hornworms every day just once a while and I’m sad. I can’t turn them into butterflies/moth because my gecko needs something to eat

[@JadonSchintu]

so the hornworms are actually hawk moths

[@ZahRAWRbandos]

Here is a crazy fact.. worms and caterpillars who turn into mots or butterflies actually die when they are in their cocon.. the flying insect is another animal
