Brahmaea wallichii 15 eggs

Brahmaea wallichii Asia

It is most difficult to get this very large and magnificent Brahmaea species. In August we will have eggs.  The larvae feed on Privet. Young larvae are adorned with long, black, curled spines, which are shed at the final larval skin change. These are magnificent creatures, most impressive to see and easy to rear.  Pupae are formed in compost. The larvae like to pupate under a flat stone. Store the pupae for spring emergence.
