Enquiries about orders. Particularly with livestock, before enquiring when you will receive a species, please check the delivery season stated for the species ordered. If enquiring, please quote the SPECIES and whether PUPAE or EGGS/LARVAE. NOT JUST THE ORDER NUMBER. This helps us to respond more quickly than if you only quote the order reference. Thank you.
NEW! Specially designed chargers for Moonlander field batteries, for the Goodden Light. These include a unique charger that gives a full charge from a 12V vehicle battery - the only one of its kind. See the Moth Trap section. Immediately available.
Worldwide Butterflies supplies a wide range of equipment for breeding and field study. The Moonlander Moth Trap, devised by Robert Goodden, is totally innovative and a great success, providing new opportunities for identifying and studying moths in remote habitats.
MOONLANDER Moth Traps. New stocks available - both Mains (Mercury Vapour) and the newly announced Goodden Light which is new to Entomology and more effective than any known battery light. See details under Moth Traps.
We no longer have a printed catalogue. This replaces all earlier forms of ordering and we hope you will find it more up-to-date and easier to use.
