The black pupa bucket has a current temperature of 21.6C and 80% humidity. We'd like to get it up to a constant temperature of 25C and lower the humidity to close to 60%. I'll have to think up a way to get our numbers up/down.
We had 87 crawl-off today, with about 80% crawling around, indicating they have not quite reached pupation and are still just mature larvae. I noticed that when we placed the mature larvae in the sunlight, they became significantly more active.
Right now we are looking for a place to overwinter our larvae (of course, IF we get eggs, and right now it seems that this is a big if). Likely, we'll settle on a large fridge or freezer.
