Short description
Live Waxmoth Larvae 50-pack
Life cycle; egg - larva (= waxmoth larva, caterpillar) - pupa (in a silk cocoon) - adult moth
Maintain at room temperature out of direct sunlight. Always replace the mesh liner carefully, with no folds at the edges, as they will get out of they don't. We recommend actually storing the container in the terrarium with the animal so if they do get out, they will not get wasted.
Click and collect to avoid spillage with home delivery
Waxmoth produce their own metabolic heat so the pots are always warm, especially underneath. You can extend their shelf life by storing at the lower end of the ideal storage temperature if possible.
Waxmoth are expensive to produce as they're grown on a special diet. They normally live in run-down, warm beehives as a pest where they eat beeswax. They are noy a problem in healthy hives as the bees 'manually' remove them. They are the top shelf of live food as they have a balanced protein/fat ratio, are soft bodied and therefore palatable to pretty mch all animals; drogs, newts, reptiles, fish, birds and mammals. Their only down side is their ability to escape, so proper replacement of the gauze liner is imperative.
