Silk Moth Eggs & Larvae

Silk Moth Eggs & Larvae

We offer a good range of silk moth larvae each season. Yearly 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 moths and to see recommended species.

The Information Section contains a selection of the most widely used texts relating to the captive breeding of moths and butterflies and this is well worth a look for beginners and indeed those with experience.
