African Moon Moth (Argema mimosae)
£16.99
Available Summer
The larvae are most spectacular and they thrive on Liquidambar, . Other foodplants Eucalyptus, Walnut, Sumac Rhus sp.
The moth is a miniature of the Giant Madagascan Moon Moth as a whole lot easier to breed! Spray the cocoons daily, keep at about 25 degrees C, or a little more, and they start to emerge as they do in the rainy season.
Pairings are not automatic but not difficult. A male and female need to hatch within a few days of each other.
Some larvae turn out to be green or slightly more rare the yellow ones.
A fantastic species to rear in all stages!
