Prominent in our lists of moth livestock are the silk moths (saturniids). Annual highlights include the spectacular and breathtaking Giant atlas moth, Madagascan Moon Moth and Indian Moon Moths.
If you are a beginner, please go to our Schools and Beginners' section for a brief introduction to caring for silk moth livestock and to see species recommended for those new to the pastime.
The Information Section contains a selection of the most widely used texts relating to the captive breeding of moths and butterflies. This is well worth a look for beginners and indeed those with more experience.
