European Cynthia Moth Philosamia cynthia from Italy
This species has now become scarce in Europe and we may not get regular supplies in future.
Very easy to rear on Privet, Willows, Ailanthus, Llilac and other shrubs, including evergreens, such as Portugal Laurel, Viburnum tinus and Acuba.
The moths pair easily. The young larvae are yellow, decorated with black spots, and live gregariously. As they grow they become pure white, with prominent black spots. In the final instar they have a white waxy bloom.
Highly recommended.
