pansy flower

What you feed, where you get it from, basically we will build up a comrehensive list of suitable plants to feed Leaf Cutters. Also in temperate countries, what do you feed them in the Winter?

I've not tried them but imagine they would as they take most flowers. Don't be afraid to try new things out. Just avoid things that may contain insecticides/ pesticides like shop bough flower etc.

Fresh sprouts, Almond nuts (flaked variety in the baking section are perfect for them)

Thank you for the kind words, I think the youtube clips flatter my knowledge base to be honest though ha ha.
You learn a lot though keeping them yourself, what doesn't kill them makes you a stronger keeper if that makes sense. I've made many mistakes, some bigger than others but try to learn from them:)
