Forbes Silkmoth (Rothschildia forbesi lebeau) life cycle

Larval hosts: Lime Prickly Ash (Zanthoxylum fagara), Mexican Ash (Fraxinus berlandieriana), Willow (Salix), Peach (Prunus persica), citrus (Citrus), Acacia (Acacia) and Privet.


I've raise them on Lime Prickly Ash, Mexican Ash and Privet

Adult female moth recently emerged from cocoon - these moths do not have mouth parts and do not feed. They live for about a week.
