Care Notes:

• Hornworm moths are nocturnal and require minimal handling and do best with no handling at all.

• Ideal temperatures: 75-85°F

• Place container with cocoons in the moth cage. The moths will hatch in the next ten days!

• Feed with a sugar-water solution. Brightly colored bottle caps work well for the nectar.

• Place a few items in the cage for the moths to climb on and hang from. Paper towel tubes or bark both work well!
• The moths do better with a day and night cycle so make sure they can be in complete darkness for 6-10 hours per day.

• Lifespan: 5-10 days as adults

• The larger the enclosure, the better.  These guys love to fly!
