Sporeworld's Cecropia Silk Moths

[sporeworld]

Here's some photos of my Cecropia Silkmoths (or Robin Moths). They are one of the most unreal things to run across in the wild. Absolutely amazing!

Have you seen Royal Walnut moths? They're pretty awesome-looking too! We had a girl earlier this year, unfortunately, she didn't seem to be fertile (must've caught her too soon) & never laid any eggs for us. They are also, sadly, very short-lived....

I don't remember the last time I came across a moth in the wild with a wingspan larger than 2 inches. <_<

I have a friend who breeds a lot of my feeders for me. she would love to try something like that. she has a "gift" with breeding oddball or strange insects.

I know that my Chameleons would love them. :devil2:

if you have any extra silkworms of the robin moths I'm sure I'll find something to trade with you or pay you for them. eggs or moths would be fine too. it would make a perfect X-Mas gift for her.

need panted ladys?

Ha! I shall NEVER allow those mantid RUFFIANS to manhandle my dainty Silkmoths! Nev-ah!!! ;--)

But seriously, I don't think I could stand it. I'm JUST coming around to feeding parts of dead mantids to other mantids. I'm too much of a softy....

And, yeah - the Royals are gorgeous. I can't remember what I ordered, but I think I'm trying them in the next batch... Of course, I'll post pics when I get them - stunning colors...

Oh, I should have some really nice moth photos in Feb/March and then some eggs available after that. I'll let you know...
