Will very hot temps keep bf's from eclosing?

15 years ago

Hi everyone

I have a bunch of Giant chrysalids that have been here since April, a couple from the batch emerged right away and the rest are just hanging out. I know sawllowtails are unpredictable, I was just curious since we have already have some 100+ days, could that possibly be the reason?

Thanks!

I don't think that's the reason, Shannon. Giant swallowtail batches usually have a few hangers-on that emerge much later than the rest. If this had happened in fall, the unemerged chrysalides would probably overwinter.
High temps are more likely to cause early emergence that stopping it.
