So nice! I don't think I've ever seen a live L. elaphus. Did you raise the larva from an egg? If so, how long did it take to reach this point?

Thank you.

I've caugh my L. elaphus as a larva. It took about 14 month from L2 to this point. (I wish I can shorten that period. lol)

He is around 5.6cm but it is hard to get the accurate measurement since he moves a lot.
