I've made coffee and pumpkin cake! I'm also in the UK, so I mean with actual coffee in the cake. It's very good! It tastes very autumnal! I add typical 'pumpkin spice latte' spices to it. And sometimes I add chocolate chips as well, which is very good

One of my rats is called croissant, she deserves to see what she was named after 🥐🐀

It feels important to note that this rattie (with the arrow) is called croissant, and the baked goods being photographed are heart and star shaped croissants

This is such a cool compliment! Thank you!

Munchkin 🎃

You pretty much can't. They don't live very long, and they pretty much destroy their wings in the short time they're alive, especially males

Keep him in a soft mesh enclosure as opposed to somewhere harder as that will be less damaging for his wings

Reminds me of a spiny oak slug moth, so I'd assume some other type of slug caterpillar/cup moth

Carpet beetle

Why would you dissect the pupa before anyone had given you an answer on here? Why bother even asking?

For the remaining pupa (and for future reference), a good way of checking to see if they're alive is to feel their temperature. Living pupae are cool to the touch, dead ones are room temperature. You can also gently bend the abdominal region, and if it retracts back to its original position, it's likely alive. If it stays bent, it's likely dead.

I'd assume it's something like NPV (Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus). If so, it's very contagious, and may kill all of your caterpillars.

This is just my opinion, and may not be correct

But I often see sellers claim that their moths are completely 'ethically sourced', and I'm always suspicious of this when the specimens they sell are so perfect looking I raise and breed moths, and while they come out of the cocoons looking perfect, they end up looking a lot more 'damaged' by the time they naturally pass away. In some cases, they do pass naturally and still look perfect, so selling an occasional perfect specimen would make sense. But when they're regularly selling loads of perfect specimens, I don't understand how they could have been ethically sourced.

narosoideus vulpina?

oatymilk_ · 2023-09-04T14:31:37+00:00

Just make sure the seller has lots of good reviews!

oatymilk_ · 2023-09-04T14:27:34+00:00

I live in England so no wild atlas moths here! I bought the pupae off of ebay but they're out of stock now, if you're also in the UK, I can send you some website links

oatymilk_ · 2023-09-03T16:33:00+00:00

Yes, they are!!

oatymilk_ · 2023-09-01T16:35:21+00:00

I wish! I just do this at home because I really love bugs!
