Available April - July 2011. (Third party breeder). A truly beautiful North American species (13-14 cms.) with red crescents and bands on each wing. Cecropia pairs very easily but rearing the larvae can sometimes be a challenge as they require excellent ventilation. However, exposing the larvae to British climate like conditions by sleeving them or rearing them in ventilated cages in out - houses appears to yield the best results. The very attractive larvae have scarlet and yellow tubercles and take a wide variety of trees including various fruit trees, Poplars, Willows, Sallows, Hawthorn, Birch, Lilac etc.
