But i think they are around that size before pupating,
the newly hatched are a lot smaller.

The adult moths i am talking about are around 6-7mm.
The larvaes are smaller newly hatched grewing up to 1 cm or so and they are around 1-2mm thick.
My poison darts love them in all stages.

Maybe it is possible to get them send from Europe?

The culturing is exactly the same as with the bigger waxmoths.
Usualy they both invest a hive, but the bigger ons will take over so the smaller ones will therefore been seen less with imkers.

If you like i can see what is possible to get them send to the US,
but i think it's worth it to order with multiple people since the porto will be
a bit high i think.

Maybe you know if it is even possible to send bugs that can form a threat?
I believe they do appear in the US as well, so i don't know if they can make a problem out of it.
Im going to look into those two species. Getting them here should not be all that much of an issue as I already specialize in micro fauna and will be bringing in a nice sized order and variety in a month or two. The small phoenix worms here are around 1/8'' to 3/16'' at most be we can also order xxsmall ones that can be fed to pums and smaller thumbs. Im very much interested in hearing about other species of micro fauna you have worked with, Id be happy to share and info of my own.
