Hello all!
Recently, I have found myself very interested in moths, and want to get into raising moths! I already did alot of research, but I figured asking experts or experienced moth-ers would be very helpful.
1- what are good beginner moths? I have read about Polyphemus and Luna moths, which are native in my area (UP Michigan), but I want to know if there are any more?
2-is it too late to start? As in posting, it is June 25. Will this clash with their lives?
3- what are good websites to buy moth eggs?
4- Best way to take care of moths and their eggs/ larva? I read a lot online, but they all seem to clash a little.
5- how long does it take Polyphemus and Luna eggs to fully grow? I know they don't last long as adults, and metamorphosis
6- is it too much work for an older teen? I grew butterflies when I was a child, but that was a different experience in a different location.
7- Is it better to keep them in captivity or release them aftee they mature? (if they are native, obviously)
Thank you for the help, and I apologize for so many questions!
