UK species and a selection of North American sphinx are available each year. From time to time we have livestock of the much sought after Deaths Head Hawk (Aschelia atropos), Convolvulus Hawk (Agrais convolvuli) and Oleander Hawk Moths (Daphnis neri).
If you are a beginner, please go to our Schools and Beginners' section for a brief introduction to caring for hawk 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 for that matter those with more experience.
