EGGS Available for Spring 2025 - Pre-ordering opens January 1st:

• Read the egg and caterpillar blog post to familiarize with general bug needs before ordering. We also recommend reading the pesticides post.
• Each species will ship separately as they fly at different times.  Items that are not ordered within an egg listing will ship soon after ordering.
• We may have other species available during spring/summer, and those will magically appear briefly as available.  We will also post new availability happenings to our Facebook and Instagram.

SUMMER PUPAE shipping throughout summer as available:

OVERWINTERING pupae will be posted on or around November 1st each year:

• Overwintering (diapausing) pupae will become available sometime in the first week of November, and ship through winter and early spring or until sold out. 
• Read the overwintering instructions blog post for instructions on diapausing pupa care.
• Multiple species ordered will ship together in one package.
• If adding eggs to the order, additional shipping will be added for the eggs that will ship separately later in spring.
