[QUOTE="twolfe, post: 161757, member: 4455"] This is my third year raising silkmoths. (Third year with Cecropia and second with Luna.) I have lots of critters to care for at the moment, and sometimes it's overwhelming. It's also a pain when you travel. I'm trying some "sleeves" this year for half of my stock to see if it reduces the loss while I'm gone. Luna cats seemed easier to raise than Cecropia. Anyway, there are sites selling ova at this time of year. You can also buy cocoons in the fall. I agree with Sporeworld about keeping the interest. But it was really exciting the first time. I'm trying Swallowtail butterflies this year, too, but have only had success with one species laying eggs. [/QUOTE]
