So far, out of approximately 150 eggs, I have 118 Cecropia larvae.  I started them on Maple as it is common here and abundant, so I should have a good food source for the most of the summer.  I'm currently housing them all in clear SnapLid containers.  However, there is no way that I will be able to raise all these in such limited space.  So, when they begin to outgrow the containers, I will set most of them free on local Maples, keeping only the most robust ones.
