I've been recently been taking a interest into raising giant silkmoths. But I'm having troubles finding websites that sell them, mainly the larvae. If anyone would be willing to help. That'll be fine.
Thanks!

That'll be fine. Thanks! I don’t think you’ll find someone who is selling larvae, unless you would pick them up near by where you live. Usually pupae ( cocoons ) or eggs are sold as they are much more easy for shipping. |

If you live in Britain or Europe, actias.de would be the place to go. If you are in the U.S., insectnet classifieds and ovogram for eggs and cocoons when in season.

I do currently have Actias luna moth eggs laid on the night of 28 March 2019. If you are located within the US. I have some available for a sale. Also, not many people attempts to sell caterpillars as they can easily die during a shipment. Eggs are a lot safer and easy to ship it out.

Shady Oak butterfly company does advertise saturniidae larvae for sale online, though they are really pricey and the place does get mixed reviews.

I find that the shipping from Shady Oak is too stressful for them. Especially if they're shipping later instars.

I agree. I have bought from and learned much from Bill. |
