Description: Fresh A. polyphemus cocoons which will hatch in 2025. They are from pairings of wild (northern Indiana) polyphemus moths and female polyphemus moths which I raised from eggs this summer. They were raised on silver maple (Acer saccharinum). Life cycle: These are from the second brood of 2024 and these cocoons will overwinter until spring/summer 2025. For best result keep close to the natural temperature of the Midwest USA. Cocoons may dry out if kept indoors. Host plants: Alder (Alnus), Apple (Malus), Aspen (Populus), Bayberry (Myrica), Beech (Fagus), Birch (Betula), Butternut (Juglans), Chestnut(Castanaea), Chokecherry (Prunus), Dogwood (Cornus), Elm (Ulmus), Hawthorn (Crataegus), Hazelnut (Corylus), Hickory (Carya), Hornbeam (Carpinus), Maple(Acer), Oak (Quercus), Pear (Pyrus), Rose (Rosa), Sassafras (Sassafras), Sweetgum (Liquidambar), Sycamore (Platanus), Tulip Tree (Liriodendron), Walnut(Juglans), Wild Cherry (Prunus), Willow (Salix), and more! Disclaimer: Once the cocoons are in your possession, I am no longer responsible for their wellbeing. Please do your own research on good overwintering and rearing techniques or send me a message and Ill be happy to let you know what has and hasnt worked for me.
