Rosy Maple Silkmoth (Sycamore Silkmoth) Dryocampa rubicunda North America
Eggs are offered subject to successful breeding. It's difficult to get enough moths of both sexes at any one time, but we have a breeding stock and will do everything we can to succeed.
This small Silkmoth, highly colourful, is very seldom available. The larvae feed on Sycamore and Maples, Oaks (reportedly less successful) and Beech. 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.
