Eri Silkmoth Philosamia cynthia ricinI
A very attractive form with dark banded moths.
Very easy indeed to breed in captivity. The larvae feed on Privet, Ailanthus and Ricinus. They are gregarious when young, yellow and black. Larger larvae are covered with white waxy powder.
This subspecies is continuously brooded and can be kept going in all seasons. The cocoon is white and is used to produce spun silk.
