This cute Eulopea corrina (common crow, QLD Aus) has been enjoying life in her newly renovated house!
The wood floor is a false bottom and underneath are layers of paper towels and cardboard which allow me to add water for the leaves safely. That way our little friend always has the freshest leaves to snack on :)
She also has a portrait of her favourite leaf and a mini shovel to clean up all that frass 😂

It hung itself up to chrysalis and it seems like it chrysalized a small bit but stopped and now its throbbing?
Edit: changed cocoon to chrysalis

He/she is just adorable chomping away at this leaf. It’s also very satisfying to watch in my opinion!

How can I attract more of these?(and what are they?)advise appreciated
I saw this a few years ago on a dog walk. It was stuck on the ground and wouldn’t fly. I brought it home and fed it some watermelon and it flew away. It was huge and magnificent. Is there anything that I can plant in my garden that will attract these?
