The tobacco hornworm is capable of metabolizing nicotine from the tobacco plant and uses the nicotine for defense against predators. As a defense mechanism, hornworm larvae emit short clicking sounds from their mandibles when they are attacked.
Adults can hover over a nectar-producing flower. Preparation Our Hornworm Nursery Kit provides all the materials necessary to raise a population of hornworms from eggs to adults. Housing Eggs Your hornworm eggs will arrive in a small, plastic vial. Larvae If you ordered hornworm larvae, they will arrive in a plastic cup with a small amount of media on the bottom of the cup. Pupae Hornworm pupae are shipped in a roll of packing material.
Moths To prepare for the moths to emerge, place fully formed pupae in a flight cage or other container. Feeding Larvae The pre-poured vials provided in the Hornworm Nursery Kit contain enough food to sustain 1 larva to the pupal stage. Pupae No further feeding is necessary for pupae.
Moths Once the moths emerge, place a shallow dish of cotton balls soaked in sugar water in the cage for them to feed on. Maintaining and culturing Larvae To complete the life cycle in 30 days, larvae must receive constant light, or their pupal stage could last several months diapause.
Moths Once the moths emerge, mist the cage with water daily to keep airborne wing scale to a minimum. Hang a piece of paper towel or screen material for the newly hatched moths to climb. Their wings are wet when they hatch and they need to hang to get the blood flow going and pump through the wings. If they get caught in their container with no way out or nothing to climb their wings won't unfold correcrly. Is it possible to feed them only fresh vegetables and still successfully get them to pupate?
I don't have easy access to premade hornworm food. Replying to my own question. Yes, my hornworm is currently a chrysalis and I only fed it carrots and lettuce :. If you do not keep your Eco Earth damp by misting daily, it can result in the wing problems you describe. You can prevent the issue by remembering to mist and also by making sure the earth is not packed too tightly around the pupae.

The post says: "It is very important to mist the dirt daily to ensure proper development of the moths. One major result of failing to keep them moist is stunted wing development in moths. I followed the instructions perfectly and 5 of my 8 worms died. How do I keep the mortalities lower?
What's the perimeter of the plastic around the cage? They like to crawl on it. Also when they emerge from the dirt if they do not have something to climb up they wont be able to puff out their wings and they will just die. You must log in or register to reply here.

Thread starter herpfreak Start date Jun 6, Status Not open for further replies. Hi everybody! I have been thinking about breeding some kind of worm along with the roaches. What about hornworms? I said to myself. I have a thing for big, green, squishy things Does anybody have experiance with breeding hornworms?
As far as worm breeding goes, is it very hard? Any butter-breeders? I'm just looking for other opinions. I'm thinking of trying my go at breeding them too. It was Dawn Blondie that I got eggs from. She has a thread about her Manducas Project here; viewtopic. I'm gathering supplies and putting together the rearing box I have roaches and supers
