Artificially cultured swallowtail butterflies are generally cultured naturally at room temperature. But it is necessary to artificially create a site suitable for the growth and development of butterflies in order to achieve success.

Selection of breeding site: It is advisable to choose a place with leeward direction, sunny location, good ventilation, fertile and moist soil, and away from orchards, vegetable gardens and farmland.

Construction of the breeding net shed: Use bricks with a thickness of 11 centimeters, a height of 1 meter, and a width of 6 meters. The length depends on the scale of the breeding. Leave a convenient door 1.6 meters high and 70 centimeters wide at one end of the shed. A nylon mesh with a mesh size of 5 mm × 5 mm can be nailed to the upper part of the door, and a 1-meter-high thin iron plate can be nailed to the lower part. On the top of the fence, a 2-meter-high arched grid is made of No. 12 steel bars. A nylon net with a mesh size of 5 mm × 5 mm is covered on and around the arched grid to prevent the butterflies from escaping.

Planting flowers: Spread 1,500 kilograms of decomposed farm manure and 8 kilograms of compound fertilizer per 100 square meters of ground in the breeding shed, plow 30 centimeters deep, turn the manure into the soil, and rake it flat and finely. Plant flowers and plants with a lot of pollen and nectar from the Apiaceae family to meet the needs of butterfly eggs, butterfly larvae feeding, and larvae pupation.

Collection and stocking density of seed butterflies and seed insects: larvae, adults, eggs or pupae of high-quality butterflies collected from the wild can be moved into sheds for cultivation. When collecting adults, they are generally caught with a net. The trapped butterflies are not easily damaged, are conducive to breeding, and have a high survival rate. Egg masses or clusters of clustered larvae are often found on the stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits of plants where butterflies feed. The stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits can be plucked together, and then moved to a shed for hatching and cultivation. It is appropriate to place about 10 butterfly species per square meter, 200 larvae, and 2,000 eggs. It is best to introduce adults into the greenhouse when the flowers are about to bloom. If they cannot catch up with the flowering time, you can collect flowers that are about to bloom in the wild and put them in pots and bottles to grow to meet the feeding needs of butterflies. You can also use a compound feed prepared from 50% soy flour, 30% filter paper, 16% glucose powder, 3% dry yeast, and 1% casein. Spread it flat on a piece of paper or a plastic board and place it in the four corners of the shed. and the middle part, allowing the butterfly to feed freely. Butterflies like sweets. You can put honey juice, syrup, fresh sweet milk, etc. in a shallow dish and put it in a suitable place in the shed for the butterflies to eat. However, you must pay attention to freshness, and replace the uneaten food frequently to avoid mold and deterioration, causing diseases and causing undue losses.
