showwindow house

I was pondering for a while, how to make a new house for the cocoons of the Swallowtail.
(see post march 12-07 and aug, sept 2006)

Having the cocoons in the vitrage-tenthouse, is not sufficient anymore.
Its not easy to photograph, and the chance of having the butterflies stuck in the vitrage cloth, is not so good for their new fresh wings.
so I was thinking about making a kind of glasshouse.
Then I met a very kind man, who offered me a show-window (vitrine), which he kept in his workplace!

Here the cocoons can transform...
and it gives a good opportunity for me to make photos and film!
without bothering much about protection against cocoon-eaters & butterfly-eaters.
or about flying away too suddenly.
Thanx so much Jos!
