EXCEPTIONALLY RARE – VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY

 

We are proud to offer 15 healthy, feeding-stage larvae of Antheraea godmanii, one of the most magnificent and sought-after silkmoth species in the world. Native to the highland forests of Central and South America, A. godmanii is admired for its impressive size, refined coloration, and graceful wing shape—a true jewel of the Saturniidae family.

 

This is a unique opportunity for serious breeders and collectors to rear a species that is rarely available in the UK, especially at larval stage. Offered in an extremely limited number of lots, this release is backed by over 40 years of specialist breeding experience at Brambles Bug Basket.

 

Key Features:

  • 15 live Antheraea godmanii larvae, actively feeding and ready to grow
  • Develop into large, golden-brown moths with a wingspan exceeding 15cm
  • One of the most visually striking silkmoths in captivity
  • Highly sought-after and seldom offered outside specialist circles
  • Professionally packed for safe arrival
  • First Class UK shipping included (Tracked 24 upgrade available)

 

Species Overview:

Antheraea godmanii belongs to the same genus as the world-renowned Antheraea polyphemus and A. pernyi, yet stands apart for its elegant coloration and rarity in culture. This species is a prized addition to any advanced Saturniidae collection and offers an enriching challenge for experienced lepidopterists.

 

Care Guidelines:

  • Feed larvae on oak, beech, or liquidambar
  • Maintain at room temperature in ventilated containers
  • Provide clean, fresh foliage daily
  • Larvae spin silk cocoons and require cool overwintering
  • Adults emerge in late spring or early summer

 

Important Note:

Due to the rarity and specialist requirements of this species, we recommend this species only for experienced keepers with access to suitable host plants and proper overwintering conditions.
