About this deal

The increase in farming, forestry, land and building development and climate change result in the decline of butterflies and moths. Alternatively keep in a plastic box, lined with absorbent paper, in close confinement with fresh foodplant, and changed daily. The 30 cm tall reusable butterfly habitat is made of super clear mesh for better viewing and folds flat when not in use.

For some years two favourite Silkmoths that were once always available, have become very scarce in captivity. It is important to ensure you have the correct host plant for each species, as none of these insects are supplied with artificial diet or a cage, only leaves for feeding during transport if required. Milk Parsley Peucedanum palustre is the preferred foodplant of the Swallowtail Butterfly Papilio machaon. The directions/information pamphlet is very helpful with lots of useful facts and information to accompany.It will be necessary to provide a frozen ice pack to replace the one that’s in the box upon arrival. As soon as you have purchased the caterpillars, we will send them out in a well-packed caterpillar cup. The quality of the product and the information provided were top-notch, and we had an amazing time observing and caring for these beautiful creatures. The Indian Moon Moth Actias selene has almost completely disappeared in captive breeding, but eggs will again be available in the coming season.

Each Butterfly Breeding Kits come with a fully paid VOUCHER for the 1st lot of caterpillars included i.e. given as a gift and then the voucher can be redeemed for caterpillars to be delivered anytime between March and September – caterpillars have finished for this year – available again in March 2024. This means ensuring that natural resources are not depleted, and that biodiversity and conservation are promoted through the business. To navigate the site, you can use the bar at the top of the page (desktop), or the navigation menu (mobile/tablet) indicated by 3 horizontal lines at the top left of the page. PUPAE NEST: At this time, with the new season ahead, it is a good opportunity to set up a practical emerging cage.
