Hyalophora cecropia caterpillars (x15)

Hyalophora cecropia, commonly known as the Cecropia moth, is the largest native moth species in North America and one of the most spectacular members of the Saturniidae family worldwide. Highly appreciated by breeders, entomologists, and exotic insect enthusiasts, these giant silk moth caterpillars are famous for their impressive size, vibrant coloration, and fascinating life cycle.

The caterpillars offered are carefully selected and sold between the first and third instar stages, ensuring healthy and vigorous larvae ready for successful rearing. Thanks to their striking appearance and relatively easy breeding process, Hyalophora cecropia caterpillars are ideal for educational projects, butterfly and moth collections, nature exhibitions, and private breeders looking for rare and extraordinary species.

As a strictly univoltine species, Hyalophora cecropia produces only one generation per year and can typically be reared only during the spring season. This makes them a highly sought-after species among Saturniidae collectors and hobbyists. With proper care and suitable host plants, these caterpillars develop into magnificent giant silk moths with spectacular reddish-brown wings marked by distinctive crescent-shaped patterns.
