From Bramble’s Bug Basket – Expertly Bred by Our Lepidoptery Specialist

Discover the magic of one of the most spectacular moths on the planet! Our freshly stocked Argema mimosae eggs—professionally bred by our expert with over 40 years of hands-on experience—are now available and ready to ship.

 

🌿 What You’ll Receive:

20 African Moon Moth eggs (ova), carefully packaged in a protective vial with bubble wrap and outer box for safe delivery.

 

✨ Why They’re Special:

  • Native to Eastern & South Africa’s rainforests and savannahs
  • Stunning adults with 8–12cm wingspans and long tail streamers
  • Spectacular larvae that resemble jelly sweets in green or yellow
  • Two generations per year possible with correct care


🌱 Care Tips:

  • Eggs hatch in ~2 weeks—keep warm and out of direct sunlight
  • Larvae thrive at ~25°C in high humidity
  • Feed on host plants like Cotinus, Eucalyptus, Euphorbia, Liquidamber, and more
  • Gradually move larvae into mesh tanks from Level 4 onward
  • Cleanliness is crucial—fresh food and daily maintenance needed

 

📦 Shipping Info:

 

All eggs shipped First Class, with optional 24-hour tracked upgrade recommended to ensure freshness. We take every care in packaging, though hatchings in transit are possible. Hatched larvae will be fine short-term.

 

🔎 Note: Eggs are from confirmed pairings but fertility isn’t 100% guaranteed—message us with any concerns and we’ll always help.
