PS: of course i assume all charges and give a good price for each cocoons ...............................

I am searching for a regular supplier of living pupae/cocoons of species of African Saturnidae(Silkmoths) and/or Sphingidae species throughout the annual cycle. These are as you must know collected in the wild from either trees and/or below various trees in the ground.

An alternative method is to collect the adult Moths at night by attracting the adult female Moths by lights getting them lay eggs and rear the caterpillars/larvae on correct larval foodplants for the species.

This is a serious enquiry and I would pay good prices for same. In the event that you wish me to assist in anyway let me know I have experience over 30years past with marketing these products.
