Robin Moth cecropia 15 Eggs

Robin Moth Hyalophora cecropia North America 

This is a magnificent species with most decorative larvae that are easy to rear, especially when sleeved. The moth will sit on your finger fanning its wings, like a pet!  Highly recommended.

Cecropia is famous and has now become very difficult to obtain. We are pleased to be able to offer eggs again this season. Please take advantage of this opportunity because they may not always be available.

A magnificent and very large moth, coloured with scarlet and charcoal. The larvae are most attractive and easily reared with careful hygiene. They do well sleeved outside in good weather. Osier Willow is the plant that succeeds best for us, and many breeders use Cherry.
