Actias Luna Ova

[twolfe]

Actias Luna ova for sale. Priced to sell because I have over 300 ova (and possibly more on the way) and cannot raise all the caterpillars.

Laid today, August 10.

Price: $ 12 for 35 ova (includes first class shipping in the US)

These ova are from a nice pair. I find Actias Luna to be the easiest of the Saturniidae species that I've raised. I rear some outdoors in sleeves and others indoors on cut branches placed in water.

Wikipedia lists the following host plants. (I raise mine on River Birch)

Betula (Birch)

Alnus (Alder)

Diospyros (Persimmon)

Liquidambar (Sweetgum)

Carya and Annamocarya (Hickory)

Juglans (Walnut)

Rhus (Sumac)

Paypal preferred.

pm with questions or if interested.

Thank you.

Surplus ova all sold and mailed today. I may have more moths eclosing next week and will create a new post if I have additional surplus ova.

From this site, I got more questions than sales.

Here's one source for people interested in raising Actias Luna:
