Rosy Maple Silkmoth (Sycamore Silkmoth) Dryocampa rubicunda North America
This small Silkmoth, highly colourful, is very seldom available. We cannot remember when we last offered eggs and larvae of this species - it was decades ago! The larvae feed on Sycamore and Maples. Gregarious at first, they disperse later in life. Pupation is on the ground amongst leaf litter. The pupae emerge in summer, adults pair relatively easily. A highly attractive species, easily bred and highly recommended. Give this unusual species a try.
