Antherina suraka - 10 x Larvae - 2nd - 3rd Instar

Antherina suraka – Suraka Silk Moth Larvae (UK-Bred)
Beautiful and exotic, Antherina suraka caterpillars grow into one of Madagascar’s most eye-catching silk moths. These UK-bred larvae are already well established, feeding strongly, and make an excellent choice for anyone wanting to experience the full wonder of the moth life cycle.
What makes them special
Striking caterpillars: Boldly coloured, often with bright markings, making them just as impressive as the adult moths.
Exotic adults: Suraka Silk Moths display warm shades of pink, yellow, and brown with distinctive “eye spots” on their wings.
Rewarding to rear: From larva to cocoon to adult, these are fascinating insects for both hobbyists and educators.
Care & feeding
Foodplants: They are polyphaegous, feeding on a variety of host plants including privet, willow, beech and cherry.
 Housing: Keep in a secure, well-ventilated container with enough room for growth and movement.
Conditions: Normal room temperatures are generally fine; avoid damp, stagnant air by ensuring regular airflow.
Pupation: When mature, larvae will spin sturdy silken cocoons. Keep them at room temperature and give them a light spray 1 - 2 times a day and they will hatch in 1 - 2 months (though they may take much longer so have patience!)
