Hornworm & Zebra Silkworm Eggs

[Cap10Squirty]

I have Hornworm eggs that are being laid NOW and need to go (I can't feed off several hundred 4" hornworms!) I also have hundreds of Zebra Silkworm eggs that were laid in the early summer and have been properly diapaused. I have had around a 99% hatch rate with the Silkworm eggs.

My Hornworm moths are laying eggs right now, so any orders will receive eggs that are laid the next day so that they are the most fresh. All orders will be shipped USPS Priority 2-3 days, since Hornworm eggs start hatching in 3-5 days. Silkworm eggs can take 10-12 days depending on the temperature and humidity.

Hornworm Eggs:
100 - $15 shipped
200 - $24 shipped
300 - $33 shipped

Silkworm Eggs:
100 - $15 shipped
200 - $24 shipped
300 - $33 shipped

I accept PayPal. Orders placed before Wednesday will be shipped Monday-Wednesday, and orders placed between Wednesday and Saturday will be shipped on Saturday. If you have any questions just let me know!

What do these guys offer nutrition wise?

What do these guys offer nutrition wise?

Hornworms are basically water balloons (a lot of water content). They are not high in fat, but not too high in protein. Silkworms on the other hand are very high in protein compared to other feeders (roaches and others)...mainly because of the silk that they produce..silk is a protein. My frogs love both and have never refused a wriggling caterpillar.

All hornworm eggs sold out, Silkworm eggs are all still available.


I do not sell food for these caterpillars - I make my own for both and although both hornworm chow and silkworm chow are made from top ingredients, I do not want to get into making it in bulk right now. Thank you for asking about it though.

What do they eat? Is there any info on how to grow them out?
