I have these luna moth caterpillars, I thought I was doing it right, giving them the proper container and what not, it went well the first few days after they hatched but the past few days they've been dropping dead! I have about three left now, how can I keep these last three alive til adulthood?

I got home to find this little guy hanging off of the enclosure! Not sure of the sex yet, but I do know it's a Carolina Sphinx. This is the first moth I've tried rearing from a pet store, and it worked out pretty well!

Found in Northern Alabama!

I've been using an unused pillowcase and a UV light but all I have been getting are regular moths and other bugs. Any Tips?

PS. zoom in :)

I would love to raise my own moths and butterflies, but I’m not sure where to get eggs and caterpillars that are safe/ethical. I still need to do more general research, I’m not even sure what I can or want to raise, but was hoping someone here might have info on where I can look to source from. I worry about buying from some online sites due to disease and interbreeding.

I have no plans on releasing anything that I raise. I want to give them a good life, maybe breed them, and use them for crafts and my entomology collection when they pass naturally.

I would also love general resource for raising moths in captivity if anyone has any to share :)

Hello, very new to caring for moths. Think of a newborn. I recently got some Bombyx Mori with some chow to feed the caterpillars. However I’m thinking of getting a Calleta eggs, and I would like to know how to care for them properly. I unfortunately don’t know where to start, where do I get there food from? Is there an easier alternative?

They were just under a step at my grandpa’s place.

After this photo, I made sure to put some cones so my family doesn’t trample them.

We had a Samia ricini and an Atlas moth but both times the tips of the wings remained curled up. Some people said it's because of lack of space. But this time with the atlas we thought we gave her enough space. Any ideas? Thanks!

i wanna buy an emperor moth but i don’t know where i can get one. For US shipping
